Rubik's cube chess game. Having trouble wrapping my head around how to make it work

Its funny you mention that. I’ve actually expanded my idea from the general “Chess on a cube” to something more complex. One thing ive been thinking about is how each chess pieces moves so perfectly on a chess board, but it might not translate well on to a different game surface. Of course I wont know for sure until i actually play my own game! I think i will end up having to learn my own game and find out what works and what does not. Once i have done that i can tailor the game pieces toward my game instead of just ripping them off of chess.

I’ve also been thinking about how all it takes is removing a few individual cubes from my larger cube and i have created a completely different game board with its own strategies. Which is exciting to think about the possibilities of variety!
