Cosplay Chess
Date(s) - Friday 9/20/2019 3:00 PM - Friday 4:30 PMDescription
Cosplay Chess is a chess game played out by Cosplayers/Attendees to the panel in a sort of LARP fashion. The human sized chess board is controlled by the regular sized chessboard. Two troupe members will take turns playing chess by telling pieces to move accordingly (IE. “Naruto move forward two spaces.”). In addition to the regular chess game we now play Knightmare Chess which is a card game adding in special effects (Such as reviving taken pieces, or allowing pieces to merge together) adding an element of interest beyond regular chess. The players react to the input from the audience on things such as what piece to move? What to take? Play style? And even things such as who they are cheering for to win. We implement music and sound effects to help with the ambiance and to help the panel be as much of an event as possible.
