chess variant idea: each player starts with only their king on the board; all other pieces are in the players' inventories. on each turn a player can choose either to place a piece from their inventory onto the board, anywhere in their first two rows, or move a piece they've placed. when a piece is captured it does not go back into the inventory, it is removed for the rest of the game
@typhlosion youre about to invent warhammer i think
maybe with some other rules like you're not allowed to place certain pieces until some number of turns in, to make the tempo not be completely unmanageable
