    Nice job. I’ve played around with something like this in the past (chess pieces with RPG stats).

    You should definitely check out Archon. It was released on a bunch of systems, but I know it from the NES. It’s pretty interesting and tries to blend more tactical, real-time elements into a chess-like game. Highly recommended.

    So is there any reason for why some pieces have ten health points when the minimum ability point is thirty?

      Yes! Special abilities (Queen-Maenad and Pirate-Pirate) deal 20 damage to neighboring pieces. The only difference between 10 HP pieces and 30 HP pieces is that 30 HP pieces can survive that.
