Doctor Who Chess

We’ve invented Doctor Who Chess! It's the same as normal chess, and you can even use normal chess pieces. The major difference is that at the beginning of your turn you roll a pair of dice, and if you roll a double then something crazy happens. This could be anything from a rampaging dinosaur stomping the board, and you would then have to roll for direction and how many spaces; to the doctor himself materialising on the board from out of the TARDIS; and you would also have to roll for which version of the doctor to see how he behaves and what he gets up to. There are also plans for Daleks and Cybermen; each with their own set of behaviours; and of course it is entirely possible for them to fight each other as well as the chessmen! The board can therefore become very clogged up with salt and pepper pots and sugar cubes (adipose) hanging around; but it certainly makes for a very interesting game.
