New page

''In Martian Chess, color means nothing. Instead, location determines which pieces you may move. As in Chess, each type of piece has its own way of moving, and you capture by entering an opponent piece’s square. However, you can move only the pieces sitting in your sixteen-square section of the board, and you can only attack pieces in other zones. Thus, a piece changes ownership after it attacks. The game ends when a player has no pieces left in their quadrant.''

== How to Play ==
Individuals take turn moving one of their pieces, each type of piece has its own moveset.
* Pawns can move one space at a time, in any of the diagonal directions.
* Drones can move one or two spaces, on any of the horizontal or vertical lines.
* Queens can move any distance in any straight-line direction.

== Scoring ==
There is no "checkmate" in Martian Chess, players score points by capturing their opponent's pieces. Each piece you capture is worth its pip count in points; the winner is whoever has the highest score.
* Pawns are worth 1 point.
* Drones are worth 2 points.
* Queens are worth 3 points.

The game ends as soon as one quadrant is totally empty. This means if you have only one piece left, you can force the end of the game by moving your last piece across a canal. Then, everyone totals up their captured pieces, and the high score wins!
