Persia

YOU HAVE THE POWER OF ESCAPE. Your king always seems to elude his captors.


Starting configuration for Persia

You do not lose the game if you do not have your king in play.

On your turn, instead of moving you may put any of your pieces that have been captured or destroyed into your 2x4 area, as long as your king is in play.

Whenever you are put in check and the only way you can get out of check is by moving your king, you must immediately remove your king from the game.

"In addition to moving normally" -- this could be problematic. Do you mean the piece can make BOTH of these moves in one turn, or that he can do either?

You're right, it should be instead of moving normally.

The Donkey (2008-04-11)

Either, not both.

any pieces that have been captured or destroyed may be put back in
