Plan for Jerry Welch

by Jerry Welch · 11/24/2004 (9:55 am) · 5 comments

My four player chess game, ArmageddonTM, was submitted to Wal-Mart through the WIN program and came within three points of being accepted. I have taken their detailed report and addressed the suggestions they made.

I am now wanting to develop the game into a computer game, so between 2 and 16 players can play simultaneously using the ArmageddonTM variant.

There are many game modes available, which allows 2 people to play or up to 16.

More updates as warranted.

Is that something like that crazy chess mode (we called it Swedish chess, I guess, for some reason) where you play in 2vs2 teams and pieces you take from the opponent, you give to your team mate?

damn, that was some serious highschool fan.

Why the TM, have you got a trademark? if not, why bother?

I recently an into a variant in chess where when you capture a piece, the capturing piece takes on the abilities of the piece captured adding them to its own for one move. Ran into it in a new computer/boardgame store that just opened up about a half mile away. A small disk is added to the capturing piece which indicates its additional ability.

I can imagine that opens myriad new levels to the strategy - and adds an extra level of caution to making sacrifice moves!
