The Fantasy Chess project was simple. Combine chess with wargaming. Make a chess game that you had to fight for the square.
As the evolution of Fantasy Chess progressed, playtesters liked and didn't like many things about the game and it evolved slowly from its rudimentary state. But one thing remained constant: This was a variation on a theme of chess.
It should not mutate into something that does not act or look like chess. It should use the standard chess pieces (regardless of what they look like) and use the standard chess moves in its core game. Let the expansion sets take on the outrageousness some of the playtesters demanded.
Aside from Expansion Sets to Fantasy Chess, Shadow Hex Games has Zombie Chess, an apocalyptic look at traditional chess.
