Halloween Chess

This Halloween chess game is a strategy chess like game. Your objective is to clear the board of your opponent's pieces (ghouls.) Unlike regular chess, in Halloween chess you do not see a playing piece until it rises from the grave and you do not know if it will be on your side or your opponent's until it actually appears.

Each chess piece is allocated a strength value from 1 to 6. In general, a higher ranked ghoul can kill another ghoul of equal or lesser strength. However this does not apply to the pawn - the pawn can kill the king, but the king cannot kill the pawn.

Placing your mouse over a chess piece will show you its name and strength. The Halloween chess game begins with a graveyard full of tombs. You can click on any undisturbed grave to make a ghoul rise. The ghoul may either be one of yours or your opponents.

To move your ghoul simply click on it and then select an empty space or weaker opponent immediately next to it. All playing pieces can only move one space up, down, left or right. After you play this Halloween chess game, why not check out our other free online Halloween games?
