Fun tip: if you have a chess board with magnetic pieces, and it can be folded down in half, you can play with it folded to make it so that every time a piece is captured, it has the chance to fall and knock out another piece. It’s not a fair game by any means, but it’s very funny. Shaking the board slightly can increase the tension, depending on the strength of the magnets.
Here’s an image for reference, you play with it folded, but the starting squares are near the floor instead of sideways.
How about playing with a folded board so each player only has visibility of half of it? When you move a piece to the other half you must announce your movements and the other player moves the piece, similar to battleship
