Boost Chess

Boost Chess rules:

- Print out the Boost Cards below

- Each player starts with 5 poker chips (optionally add more for a longer match). On average the number of chess games in a match will about equal the number of starting chips.

- Place the Boost Cards shuffled face down on one side of the board

- Before each game starts, each player antes one chip to the pot.

- Start a game of chess using a chess clock (optional)

- Before his move, any player may make a bet of one chip. This counts as a move for chess clock purposes.

- The other player has 3 options:

o He can fold, meaning the aggressor will scoop the pot, and pieces are reset for the next game.

o He can call and match the bet. As a bonus for calling he receives one Boost Card, which is placed face up.

o He can beaver the bet, meaning raising by one chip and also collecting a Boost Card.

- The majority of Boost cards provide special powers to a specific piece. All Boost Cards are one time use only. Before a move, a player must announce his use of the card, use it for his turn, and place it face down in a discard pile.

- Special Rules.

o Only one player can have Boost Cards at a time. A player without Cards can bet also; however in this case his opponent will have to give up a card if he calls the bet (chosen by the bettor)

o If a player is “all-in” meaning no more poker chips neither he nor his opponent may bet.

o If all Boost Cards are used up, shuffle the discard pile and continue to use Cards.

- The winner is the player who collects all poker chips.
