New Game: Corner Chess

[donkirkby]

Draft pieces from cards, then fill corners with 4 each. Race clockwise to next corner, capturing allowed. Each of 4 players can mix colours, but pieces only capture opposite colour. Captured pieces come back in home corner on any later turn.

Include checkers? Jump like Halma? Allow super jumps?

Four squares in each corner must be safe from capture.

How do you keep track of who owns each piece? Play as partners and stack pieces on a checker? Two partners use red checkers and the other two use black?
