KingSwap!

KingSwap!

A quick, solitaire game in which you must escort the lazy King across his domain and back to his throne. This King is so lazy that he can’t move on his own; instead, you have to swap him with another piece. But be careful: each swap incurs his fury and will capture your piece. Try to complete the King’s tour with the fewest retainer casualties as possible!

How To Play

You win the game when you move the King from the bottom right corner to the top left corner and then back again.

For play, move one piece at a time like traditional chess. Whenever a piece moves into an occupied space, their two positions are swapped such that the first piece is in the second’s space and vice versa. This swap movement is the only way the King can change spaces – otherwise, you may not pick up the King directly. Moreover, the piece that swaps with the King is immediately captured and is removed for the rest of the game.

Repeat moving and swapping pieces until you either successfully move the King to both squares or fail to move the King any further.

SpecialSwap!

This mode plays the same as above except for a few unique pieces:

  Archers: move in a finite Y shape like Pawns. 

 Dukes: moves infinitely in a horizontal direction like Rooks.

Walls: like Kings they cannot move at all, only be swapped.
