Welcome to my second reverse scrowdriver blog. Last time I took the game Monopoly and added a new mechanic to it. This blog will take the game checkers and add a mechanic to the classic board game. Here's my new mechanic:
If you get your king back to your side of the board, you can move any piece on the board anywhere on the board.
This mechanic will add a feature that will move game pieces out of spots that they are stuck in. This often happens in a game of checkers when a game piece starts on the side and then the opposing game piece is "camping" it's only move making it unable to move. Other instances of this are back pieces are blocked by pieces in front of them.
The mechanic will also apply to your opponents pieces. With this you can move their pieces into danger. This is balanced by still giving them the chance to move their piece away or having them jump your piece.
This new ability can also be a combo. The way how this can combo is if a king jumps a game piece that is one space from being a king, as it gets back to it's own side to activate the new mechanic, it can move an enemy game piece into the same spot for a combo.
Having this mechanic active will increase the flow of the late game. In checkers there is a lot of chasing each other's kings or regular game pieces. This mechanic will hopefully improve that problem.
