A player is out of the game when all his/her game pieces are lost. The last player standing wins the game.

Starting Positions

The players agree on the starting positions. Usually, each player starts on a different edge of the board. But it will be fun trying different starting locations in the middle of the board as well. The following is an example of starting positions for three players on a plane of three Expandable Chess Boards.

Turns

The players decide who starts first. And then decide whether the turn goes to the left player or the right player next. Once the game starts, each player takes his/her turn like in chess.

Pawn

The pawn may move one space in any horizontal and vertical direction. Each pawn's opening move can move up to two spaces. Pawn can take an opponent(s) piece by moving one space diagonally in any direction. Because the board has infinite layout possibilities, there is no particular edge, nor opponents' edge. Therefore, the pawn does not turn into a queen upon reaching any edge.

King

Because multiple players will be drafting the game pieces from a single chess set, only one player will get the king. Therefore, the king's significance is similar to any other game piece; taking the king does not necessarily cause a player to lose the game. It is not necessary to move the king out of a check situation. And it is OK for the king to move into a check situation. There is no castling in this game mode.
