Pyramid Chase
While researching hexagonal chess variants I realised that a pyramidal variant can better be played on a hexagonal grid rather than a square grid. This game is played on a 33 ranks and 33 files pyramid with 561 hexagons.
Setup

Pieces

Rules
The goal of the game is to reach the top of the pyramid. The first King to reach the top wins.
Levels of power
Each rank of the pyramid represents a level of power. Regardless of how they move pieces are not allowed to advance more than one square in front of the highest advanced piece. There are no such restrictions on the lower ranks allowing pieces to attack each others from behind.

Notes
Due to its size, the pyramid is streched a little bit. I hope that's not a big issue.
