RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes. The object of this 2-4 player chess variant is to capture your opponent’s kings, there is no checkmating. Layout the board. Each player orients from a corner and places 5 pawns on their 3rd row. On the 2nd row they place: Rook, knight, bishop, knight, rook. On their first row, from left to right they place: Queen, bishop, prince (the prince starts the game with its crown detached and set aside). In the corner space, called the throne, they place their king. The king is the only piece that can freely move in and out of the throne. All other pieces may only capture into the throne, after which they can then move out of it according to their normal movement. The throne is orthogonally and diagonally adjacent to each of the 3 squares in front of it.
The prince can move 1 or 2 spaces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The prince captures the first piece it slides into. The first time your prince enters any opponent’s domain, indicated by crossing the red line towards their throne; your prince receives its crown and may now move any number of spaces in any direction like a queen. Once crowned, a prince is called, “The King to Be”, should your king be captured, you immediately replace your “King to be” with the king.
After a bishop captures to a throne, when that bishop returns to the battlefield, it must do so on the same color it was on before capturing to the throne.
Pawns are allowed their initial double step move option, en passant is allowed like normal. After their first move forward, pawns are allowed to move 1 space vertically or horizontally so long as they move away from their own domain. The only exception is that pawns may capture backwards towards their own domain, so long as they are also capturing into an opponent’s domain. Whenever a pawn enters an opponent’s domain, they promote to either a rook, bishop, or knight. Pawns may not promote if moving to an empty domain when playing with 2 or 3 players.
If playing with 2 or 3 players, 1 player must be the orange player. The player playing orange goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. Once you capture an opponent’s king when they have no price crowned “king to be”, then that player is eliminated from the game and you get to control their pieces as if they were your own. However, you may not promote any of their pawns or prince.
When there is only one king remaining then the game ends, and the player with the remaining king wins.
My favorite chess variants are Loka and Knightmare chess

Basically a Chess Variant With a Devastating Fight
You May…………. Catsle
En-Passant is Not Aloud
What about Harmegedo? 6 player chess?
Neat. My only complaint is "King to be" is a horrible name. "Heir Apparent" was right there!
wAiT pRiNcE iS gAy?!?!
How you considered doing Grand Chess?
The only rule that makes no sense: "Orange must be on the board so it can go first"
Just play any 2 colours that are on opposite sides.. it doesn't matter which side starts 😐
You’re great
How do I buy it?????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2:27 Unlike 3 Player Chess (Circular), this rule is too overpowered.
Chess DLC looks lit!
What if my king died and I have a normal prince
the prince is the son right if he becomes king he will marry the queen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sounds incredibly fun, not going to lie. The introduction of the Prince is interesting. It feels a bit like Chess meets Crusader Kings 2.
This game honestly sounds amazing, and I can only find one video on it (being this). I cannot find it on Amazon, and I am really bummed.
I want to buy
Quandular dingle
I’ll call the king to be future king
So basically: A chess battle royale.
This is awesome! Honestly, I kinda wonder why this is not a popular chess variant.
– Adds The Prince which starts out a King that can be captured and fan move 2 spaces Diagonally or Forward/Backward
But Promote and Basically become a Queen
– can be played with 2,3 AND 4 Player
– Pawns can move forward and Diagonally one square Regardless of it capturing a piece or not but cannot promote to a Queen (still can promote to Rook, Bishop or Knight)
Truly the best version of Chess
I almost got a heart attack when they said “pawns are allowed to move horizontally “
The board looks great. May you please let me know where you bought it? 🥲
Finally, the only chess variant where you can FORK KINGS
Everyone: play quadular!!!
Me who has 4 family members: so my dog also plays? (I have a dog, dad and mom)
The rules are the same as Chess, except for these changes.
YO I PRESSED LIKE WHEN IT WAS 2,889
4 player chess with slavery and 1ups
Awesome that you can control your defeated opponents pieces as it they were your own. Would be nice if it happened more often in other variants. Alternatively, allowing the defeated players to continue moving their pieces to get points would be interesting.
Does anyone know where I can get a pdf of the rule book?
Why I can't people play this Variant in YouTube
Wait 3 man chess was too much
Nah we actually made it
What is next five players chess
This is different. My middle school science teacher had a 4-player chess game, but it was regular traditional chess. I think you could only move towards the player directly across from you.
What if one king gets eliminated then that king gets eliminated?
Yeah I’m in love with this – at least it’s not spherical
Enslaving your captured kindoms
That’s brutal
Pawn can move like a Chinese pawn or from xiangqi but capture other opponent’s piece diagonally
The king is the only piece allowed in the throne. All other pieces must hold it until the end of the game.
It's impossible to buy this at a good price now…
