Multiplayer Chess

novelgames — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:15:32 -0600

The object of chess is to move your pieces to capture the opponent's king. A pawn can only move forward, it can move 2 steps on its first move and then one step on subsequent moves. A pawn can move one step diagonally to capture the piece on its diagonal. When your opponent's pawn has just moved 2 steps and lands on a side of your pawn, then you can capture that pawn by moving your pawn diagonally to the back of that pawn, this is called en passant. Rooks can move and capture horizontally and vertically for any distance. Knights can move by moving 2 steps forward and then 1 step sideways. Bishops can move and capture diagonally for any distance. Queens can move and capture in any direction and in any distance. The king can move and capture in any direction but only for one step. The king can also perform a move called castling, where the king moves 2 steps towards a rook and the rook will be moved to the side of the king on the opposite side. In order to perform castling, the king and the rook must both have not been moved, and that there must be no pieces between the king and the rook, also, the king and the two empty spaces from the king to the rook must not be under attack. When you move a piece to attack the king (i.e. the piece can capture the king on its next move), then the opponent must make a move so that the king is no longer under attack, failing to do so will result in a checkmate and the opponent loses. If you moved so that the opponent cannot make any valid move, then this is called stalemate and the result is a draw game.

Multiplayer Spades

novelgames — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:19:22 -0600

This game is played by 4 players. Each player is dealt 13 cards and the game is played trick by trick. The player who starts the trick lays one card, and the other players must follow suit if he can. The player who layed the highest numbered card (A is the highest, 2 is the lowest) wins the trick, and starts the next round. Spades are trump cards, so if a player has played a spade and it is the highest ranked spade in that trick, then he can win that trick. Spades cannot be used to start a trick unless it has been played in previous tricks. The players sitting opposite to each other are partners. At the start of each hand, each player must estimate (bid) the number of tricks he can win. If the combined number of tricks won by the partners is equal to the combined bids, then they get points equal to the bid times 10. If the number of tricks won is lower, then they lose the same number of points. If the number of tricks won is higher, then for each extra trick one point will be given. But they will also be counted as a bag point, if the accumulated bag point exceeds 10, then 100 points will be deducted.
If a player bids zero, then the tricks he wins will no longer be combined with the hands of his partner's and his partner must make the number of tricks he bidded by himself. If the player bidding zero makes it, then the team will be awarded 100 points, otherwise 100 points will be deducted. A player can bid zero without looking at his cards, if the player can make it, then the team gets 200 points, otherwise they lose 200 points. The game ends when one side reaches 500 points or the other side reaches -200 points.
