Comment on Show HN: Kung Fu Chess

Comments

This reminds me of the kick-chess with dices I used to play when I was bored of traditional chess. You and your opponent would roll dices, whoever had higher number would kick a piece of its own with fingers to go bump over as many pieces of the opponent. Win the game when you kicked all pieces of your opponent off the table. Hit too hard and your finger would bleed. Hit too low and you might only kick over a single or sometime even none of your opponent pieces. Use always the same finger for kicking was one of the rules. After 3 or 4 games, your finger would hurt so much that you'd also want to stop, but there was another rule - who was saying 1st to stop playing was automatically giving 3 games to the opponent. So you wanted to either have at least 4 games ahead then stop or on a tight match you'd grind through your pain to outlast the opponent's pain. Good times.
