Now I have the announcer from DCC in my head.

"B-B-B-B-BOSS BATTLE!!!"

But seriously: chess, but a larger grid and some pieces need multiple squares. Wouldn't that add more strategy?

You have to wait for its movement to line up and then jump it and land in the hole in the center three times.

But also you have to take care of its minions, because if their minions get king they can go back and heal it, and to make it even more difficult when the master piece is on its last life, it can respawn its minions.

I think chess, if the board were two squares wider and you get 4 additional pawns to fill those spaces would make for a very interesting alteration of the game.

Or just blow up the scale so every piece is 45lb. Work out both the mind and body

1, buy white paint.
2, call in a favor to someone who works at a steel forge that makes blank gears of unlimited size.

3, ask (pretty please) if you may keep it just in case Pog comes back and you need a winning slammer!

Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Trying to make history

But who’s to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we’ll both agree

That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way

I'm pretty sure if you need a crane to deploy your pog, then nobody's gonna play with you.

I once thought it'd be a good idea to combine Frisbee with checkers. But no way I was going to buy that many Frisbees.
