Re: Congames (was Re: Names of chess pieces in (con)langs)

Timing! :)  See previous post for a good site for at least chesslike
"congames" (which still sounds like a criminal activity), including
Klin Zha (the Klingon chess equivalent according to the novels of John
M. Ford).

I have tried many times to create playable chess variants, mostly 3-d
ones, and have yet to come up with a satisfactory result.  Also
circular chess, tripartite chess on a hex grid (3 colors, 3 bishops
per side)... chess with time travel allowed, including limited
backwards travel which might mean having to go back to an earlier
position and replay from that point...

I would like to create some native Dankaran games, but so far my
creativity hasn't been up to the task.
