Zombie Chess, a game for two players inspired by chess

The city is plunged into darkness, and the old cemetery begins to awaken. A horde of tough zombies digs up the earth and marches toward the sleeping city, leaving only destruction in its wake. But hope remains. A lone cowboy and a pack of loyal dogs stand ready to defend the road, armed with courage and a sharp instinct to protect the city. The battle between the living and the dead begins. Who will be victorious?

The objective for each player:

For humans: reach the safe zone while avoiding the zombies.

For the zombies: catch the humans before they escape.

Each round consists of three phases:

Human movement: Humans advance towards the safe zone. They can move one space (according to the visible rules).

Zombie movement: Zombies move to block or grab humans. They seem to have different movements (probably slower but strategic).

Interaction/Capture: If a zombie reaches a human, the human is captured. If a human reaches the safe zone, they are saved.

Conditions for victory:

Humans win if a certain number reach the safe zone.

The Zombies win if they capture all the humans before they escape.
