Winner of a 2001 contest for chess variants on a board of 42 squares. Each player has a royal piece (either Arthur Dent or Zaphod Beeblebrox), a Life, a Universe, an Everything, a Ford Prefect, a Wowbagger, and six Marvins. Properties of these pieces extend beyond movement -- for example, the Life can transmit powers between adjacent pieces. All moves except for the first consist of moving two different pieces. The goal is capture, rather than checkmate, of the enemy royal piece. Complete rules are here.
Life, the Universe, and Everything has been programmed for Zillions of Games.
