Exploding Sniper Flamethrower Golf Chess

Exploding Sniper Flamethrower Chess(ESFC) is a game invented by Hunter Jusenkyou, Cindy Kyte, and Jason Bur'I intended to be played by sniper-teams under the vaguest guise of 'practice'.

The games rules are complex and highly varied, but generally follow those of Exploding Laser Chess, which itself has a long and storied history amongst the students of Gudersnipe School.

Board

The game involves laying out a game board, typically on a golf course, but in a pinch any open space will do("open" here being a sliding scale that depends largely on the flammability of whatever materials may challenge it's status as 'open'). A flamethrower is then used to burn the area roughly into game squares roughly 300 feet along an edge, giving the entire board an area of around four million square feet. The tiles are then mined at random intervals using one of seventeen established layout patterns.

Gameplay

The game is intended to be played by a pair of two-person teams, each consisting of a sniper and a spotter. One or both team mates must also be certified in EOD, though a third member can be added to fulfill this role. Standard-sized chess
