Savannah is a Chess variant where all gameplay is confined to a single color of the board, like in Checkers. Due to the peculiar movements of each of the various pieces, only the green squares will ever be landed on. The brown squares are out of play.

Object: Checkmate your opponent's Lion. Leaving your opponent with only a lone Lion is also considered a win.

Hippo: moves any number of squares orthogonally on a rank or a file, but only stepping on every other square. It may not leap over other pieces.

Elephant: moves any number of squares on a diagonal. It may not leap over other pieces.

Lion: can take a single step along any diagonal, but never to a square where it can be captured.

Camel: reaches its destination square by moving either three squares horizontally and one vertically, or one square horizontally and three vertically. It hops over any pieces on the way.

Chimp: moves one square diagonally forward. If a Chimp reaches the far rank it promotes, changing into a Hippo, Elephant, or Camel.
