Tiling Rider Chess. This game was inspired by tiles seen in many bathrooms and sidewalks.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Just started one. I like the multi-boards concept, and the possibilities of his composite pieces. This is an excellent idea, and if the game plays up to the idea, it'll be easy to rate, even though the moves are a little tough to figure. Really nice use of tiling to put a tricky game together. It may need a little tweaking; the numbers, of pieces and of moves per turn, could become a little unwieldy. But it also has the potential for some beautiful effects: giants striding across the board, crushing their tiny opponents, only to be pulled down in their turn; or the shattered remnants of an army literally pulling themselves together to go out and fight again. Like I said, I think it's got potential. Now, how does it play? Looks like the Lilliputians have to organize themselves into Gullivers to win; the strategy seems simple enough...
