chess variant: every board configuration is an address in configuration space. players must buy the configuration they want in order to put the board into that state. there is a trading round before the start of tournaments.
oh wow i found a practical use for urbit
variant of this variant: players can also trade pieces with other players to reach configurations. you can have 16 queens but it’ll cost you
additional variant: players trade on winning configurations. checkmate is just one possible configuration for victory. if a player enters any of their winning configurations, they win the match.
alternatively buy up every possible checkmate so everyone else has to find some other way to win
