Henry VIII Chess is a variant of chess, played on a board 8 wide and 7 deep. Each player has one King, 7 queens and 8 pawns. Pawns are restricted to moving one space forward (as opposed to 2) and capture as normal. Queens move like they do in chess. The game provides a set of opposing objectives where the object is to either capture the enemy King, or to be the first player to lose all 7 of their Queens. These opposing objectives provides for much tension.
