Game Objective: Place all of the pieces, excluding the pawns, back onto the board.

Playtime Average: 2-3 minutes

Rules: Each player begins the game by placing their king anywhere on the board. The two kings are incapable of taking each other out, but are allowed in adjacent squares. The two players take turns placing their remaining pieces on the board. At the beginning of your turn, you must move your king out of check and then place your next piece. Each piece placed must put the opposite colored king in check. The game ends when all pieces have been placed on the board, or if either king is unable to move. The players win if the kings survive after all pieces are placed on the board, and lose if either king is locked in check mate.

Play Example:



White player places his king on E2
Black player places his king on B6
White player places rook on B1, black players king is in check.
Black player places moves his king out of check to C6, then places his knight on C1.
