The Board

Void Chess is played on a 9x9 board instead of the standard 8x8.

The Minister

A new piece that moves 1-2 squares in any direction (like a short Queen).

• Cannot jump over pieces
• Can "heal" unstable tiles by moving onto them
• Most valuable piece - protect it!

The Void System

This is what makes Void Chess unique:

1. When a piece is captured, that tile becomes unstable (red glow)
2. If a piece is on an unstable tile at the end of their turn, they are destroyed!
3. The unstable tile then becomes a permanent void (black hole)
4. Void tiles are impassable - the board shrinks over time!

Minister's Healing

The Minister can save pieces on unstable tiles:

• When Minister moves to an unstable tile, it becomes normal
• The Minister is immune to void death

Winning

Standard chess rules apply: Checkmate the enemy King!

The King can also be lost to the void if trapped on an unstable tile.
