I've had this idea of a shared chess modus between two people for a while now and was wondering how you think it would work (or I guess any board game for that matter)
I think that a kind of modus like that would work a bit like Caliborn and Calliope’s shared JuJu modus!
Here’s how I think it’d work:
Two people (obviously) must be ‘playing’ in order to retrieve and captchalogue items.
Both 'players’, owners of the modus, can freely captchalogue anything, but they must play and capture pieces on a modus-provided chessboard to retrieve items. And the players must play traditionally and by the rules.
Also, either player can only retrieve items that the opposing player captchalogues.
So, if you were to share this modus with someone, it may be a while before you see something you’ve captchalogued again.
A little short, but I hope this contributes to your modus idea, dear!
NOTE: Some of these functions can possibly apply to other board game modi!
