Doublewide non-chess-variants? I'm not too familiar with halma or the
other one you mentioned.

I gave up those games long ago when i realized that the tactical element
predominated too much over the strategical. Before then, I was legendary
in 'Lines of Action', a game whose rules I no longer even remember.

I suspect that doublewide ncv is generally uninteresting. In fact, my
opinion is that doublewide chess would be uninteresting without
doubleking, for highly elevated values of 'interesting'.

By that, I mean to say that Ddoublewide with just one King is
automatically and by definition no playtest needed a difficult game and
interesting to play. But so what? There's nothing special there, just
more of the same.

My personal opinion may not be shared by the majority, of course.

Danadazo is too a chess variant!  I should know, too, because it's mine! 
Look under the 'boards with an unusual shape' section.

What would doublewide hexagonal chess (a la Glinski or McCooey) look like?
 Or doublewide multiplayer variants?

(Am I asking too many questions?  Relative to you, I'm a CV 'n00b'.)

I love easy questions. 

1. Doublewide Rectahex. 'Nuff said.

2. Doublewide 'Chess for any number of players'. 

[rim shot] [applause] Thank you very much. Now for my next number, here's
a little ditty I wrote based on David Brin's novel 'the Practise
Effect', called 'How do you get to Carbegie Hall?' [cue music]

Maybe, make variant, wich uses sets of diffirent games? For example, 9x23
board, pieces from European, Chinese and Japanese chess: European pawns
have duble step, Chinese pawns gets sideways moves on 5th rank, Chinese
elephants may go to 5th rank, but not further.
Maybe using games with different number of ranks is not good, better to use
games of same number of ranks, for example, European, Thai and Mongolian
chess or Chines and Korean chess or Japanese and Cambodian.

Why not make a game with 2 separated boards.
One player is white on one board and the other is white on the other board. With that no player will have first-move advantage.

Of course one rule to see who will win need to be decided. If the first one that mate the enemy (on any of the boards) win, being fast at mating would be more important than just mating, this is a not wanted thing.

Maybe do like that. If one guy win on both boards, he win the game. He both players win on one board, they play again.
