For our second collaboration<\/strong> (see Game Studies<\/em><\/a>) Pippin Barr<\/a> and I wondered what would the love child of Chess and the classic game Rogue <\/em>(1980) would look like. For this game design experiment, we constrained ourselves to use only mechanics that come from either of these models. For example: character movement, turn taking and capture from Chess, but world, visibility and progress structure from Rogue<\/em>. The result is a surprisingly compelling experience, at once very different from each model while still evocative of both.<\/p>\n
