The ONLY Way to Play Chess

[josettejoy]

I might be wrong, but to me, this is a mixture of Chess, Risk, and D&D. Someone please make this a real game!

The "king is abdicating the throne" caught me offguard

[micahlovesjesus]

If only world leaders would just play chess ♟️
Great sketch!

[arbytimber]

Give Magnus 3 weeks and he’ll be playing this professionally

[Sheepsbane]

This is exactly why you should never abdicate the throne. Rookie move.

They just started playing Civilization. This is probably how Civilization was invented actually.

[Ithenna]

This made me laugh way more than it should have, haha 😂

Honey, r/anarchychess is leaking again

As someone who played chess since she was a child, I can confirm that it indeed looks like this if you're skilled. My father always used to start like this, but won before it escalated.

The guy blundered... he didnt use the abdication of the throne as a show of weakness.. and drop pampletes on the enemy soldiers about how the head of state just left his soldiers to die.. and just wait for the chaos to unfold.. but well we get to see the space race variation so its good too.

As someone who has friends who play monopoly with just as many curveballs (paying 1/4 parking fee if you land on someone else's property in exchange for one of your railroads, exchanging get out of jail free cards in exchange for a split of the profit if they land in Free Parking, etc.) I feel this on a visceral level.

[hyperbolicparaboloid]

Someone really needs to make a chess parody game with actual set rules and mechanics that mimics real world events like civs does all while being comically ridiculous and strategically complex.

[RedCaio]

One of the best skits on this channel!

[Hiryur]

They took “Chess is like your life” to a different level

[SteveSmith-osbs]

I used to play tournament chess, and these additions to the chess world would make the game so much more interesting. You start with classic chess and then finish with thermal nuclear war.

[vikn]

we need to see magnus and hikaru play like this

[andrewhamm]

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time

[tealvampyre]

"Civilization Chess" -- As a former competitive chess player and fan of all Sid Meier's Civilization iterations, I absolutely loved this skit!!!

[umariqbal]

Getting the old studio C vibes again, Love it.

The commentator was right the game was as good as over with that check from the bishop
