Wayward King Attack

Conceit

You start out with a king and a pawn. You can get more pieces by defeating enemies in chess. The further you go the stronger the enemies will be.

Checks don't matter. If your king dies you lose. Pawns (and similar pieces) can only promote to queens, and en passant isn't implemented.
