Bombalot is a fast paced game played on a board similar to Chess but with four extra squares. The game is fast paced and sufficently complicated to lead to wild, unpredictable and excitable games. Although the pieces may seem complicated at first, if you give the game a chance you'll find it to be a most entertaining and intriguing number, with a simple mistake leading to huge captures spanning the board. But if this happens, keep playing: it is quite feasible to make a come-back from a disaster. This is a near full implementation of Bombalot. All of the pieces are present and most of their behaviours have been implemented. Game Description The board is identical to a Chess board except for the addition of four squares, two either end of the board behind where the King and Queen would normally sit. A game may be won by moving any two pieces into the extra squares at the opponent's side of the board or by capturing all of the opponent's pieces.
