Royal Chess
A chess variant that combines hidden-card information with standard chess movement. Each player uses a hand of five cards to determine which pieces can move, drawing a replacement after each play. Since hands remain secret, players can take calculated risks or bluff their opponent. The objective is to capture the opposing King and Queen. Jester cards act as wild cards, allowing a player to reclaim or move any of their pieces. The game is played with a standard chess set and includes two decks of 50 cards.
