How to Play Outdoor ChessWho says that board games are solely for indoors? Those unfortunates have obviously never experienced a game of Outdoor Chess! But beware, this game is not for sissy girls… Outdoor Chess has so many advantages over indoor chess. For one, it's Take onions. Say that you have a burger with onions for lunch. Anyone unfortunate enough to sit beside you later that evening will probably have two inches of face seared away by your scavenger-scented breath. Not so with Outdoor Chess! Indoors, everyone is surrounded by the pungency of your breath. Outdoors, you can let it rip into the wind and everyone will laugh with you.
Planning If it's the buggy time of year, put out the citronella. The last thing you need is for your mother-in-law to get mosquito bitten and swell up like a bearded pig. Platters of appetizers are highly recommended, but nix-a on the mixed drinks. Beer is okay as long as it's lite. Now, let the game begin! All the players should come 'dressed' for the game according to your chosen theme. If you're doing a medieval piece, be sure and suggest some costumes or everyone could show up at Igor. Or is that Egor? Costume weapon accessories should be encouraged, though these should be rubberized, fake, or easily breakable to ensure the safety of the group should the game get rough. Live animals or children cannot be a costume accessory. Mark off a chosen area with white lime with twice as many boxes as you have players. You will need two players to 'call' the moves from the sidelines. The queen and king type personalities work best for this game responsibility. If they have loud voices, that's a plus. If your boss attends your chess party, seize the opportunity by giving them a queen or king spot. Due to their gratitude, you'll almost be guaranteed to receive a raise! Well, there you have it, a quick rundown on one of the hottest games in town. Pick up a lime spreader and unleash the fun this weekend! Click Here to Return to American Outback |
