My opponent better hope they win before we get a Reverse and they’re stuck with my terrible play

Alt text description: Two people are playing chess along with a deck of Uno cards dictating play. Each turn a player draws a card. If the card has a number then that is the number of pieces they can move. Draw Two allows a player to return two captured pieces to the board. Skip causes a player to lose a turn. Reverse causes the players to turn the board around and switch to playing the other color. The actions for Wild or Wild Draw Four are not shown because the game ends in checkmate soon after a Reverse.

    Just goes to show you, it’s all made up and some people get paid a really good living to play made up games. Not saying that’s bad, just jealous.

      Yeah, in particular also seems random where they place the pieces after the Draw 2. Well, except that the queen is now in position to put the king into check with the 1.

        Obviously if you do this you real you need better rules for the draw cards. Either they resurrect on default positions or you make it a double draw turn and move twice. Both seem pretty op still in any case.
