Curse Chess

Made for Trijam#286! 

Theme: "Forced to make a move"

Curse Chess is a chess variant that features cast-able curses that forces a piece to move in a specific way! Use curses to your advantage and clear off the enemy's pieces in the fewest round to obtain a high score!

How to Play:

In Curse Chess, you can cast a curse on an opponent's piece every 3 turns, each with a unique effect. 

You must cast a curse before moving; otherwise, you miss that chance until the next round. 

Regular chess rules apply, but there’s no safety protection.

Objective:

End the game with the highest score. Your score is based on the number of your pieces left and the rounds taken—finish in fewer rounds for a higher score!
