Object: Kick the football through the opposite goal.
 
Any piece can pick up the football with a normal capturing move. A piece cannot move with the football, but can kick the football up to 4 squares in any direction, as well as over or to other pieces.
 
Pawns on the third rank may move up to two squares forward. Normal chess En-Passant rules apply. A Pawn may promote once inside the opposite 50-metre arc.
 
There is no check or checkmate in Australian Football Chess. A King is considered a normal piece and may be captured. The game is not over if the King is captured.
 
 
Feedback to robert_winkel@hotmail.com. This is my first game for Zillions, so be nice!
 
This game was inspired by Australian Rules Football. I wanted to design a unique game so that I can experiment with co-evolving a neural network that plays games well. Once I have done this I will re-release this game with my own game playing engine.
 
My next experiment will be for a game that the built-in AI doesn't play very well at all.
