114 Hay

You’re a farmer, and your goal is to use your animals to secure your precious hay. This game is played on a chess board using special rules and game pieces.

##The Goal Protect your Hay! Or eat their hay!

##The Pieces Each player has the following set of pieces:

• 1 Farmer
• 1 Horse
• 2 Cows
• 2 Pigs
• 2 Chickens
• 8 Hay

##The Rules

• Cow rams Pig, Pig scares Chicken, Chicken tricks cow
• The cow can only run in straight lines, until she runs into something
• The pig can move in every direction, but only one space (?)
• The chicken moves two spaces forward, backward, or sideways, jumping over one space
• The farmer can move in any direction one space, but cannot move without his horse

##ADDITIONAL NOTES

• farmer can push hay around, and maybe horse can push too?
• when animals are on adjacent spaces, they affect each other (Cow beats Pig beats Chicken beats Cow)
• chain reactions are imminent (a cow rams a pig that touches a chicken and scares it into another chicken, ending the chain)
• player can make two moves per turn?
• hay that’s eaten by opponent turns to mud, aka an obstacle?
• maybe the pig can’t move at all, but has a different advantage? or maybe it can roll around in the mud?
• game ends when all opponent’s hay has been eaten, OR all of a player’s hay is completely protected, OR the opponent boxes in a farmer with animals

(Continuing work on this concept as a full project…)
