Illinois Chess

Illinois Chess is a variant of chess with several added mechanics, including Monopoly-esque property ownership and dungeons.

Known Rules
Besides the standard rules of chess, the following additions are made:
 * Both players have an unknown amount of money, similar to Monopoly.
 * Every square has a name and a monetary value. Either player can buy a square if they have a piece on it, and if the other player lands on that square, they must pay rent every turn. Rent is 10% the original cost of the tile.
 * Buying a square does not count as a turn.
 * For $600, two adjacent tiles can be annexed to construct a Rook Factory. Every four turns, this will produce a rook for its owner. This decreases by one turn for every additional adjacent square annexed.
 * Rook Factories cannot be captured like normal pieces. For the enemy to remove one, they must build a Consortium to activate Arbitration.
 * Building a Consortium requires both bishops to be lined up in the same file. It takes 10 turns, during which no other actions may be performed.
 * In Arbitration, an extension is added to the board containing four sanctums, containing a knight, a pawn, a bishop, and a rook, owned by the same player as the rook factory. If the challenging player captures all four pieces, they win Arbitration.
 * In one variant of the game, landing on the Chicago square transfers the whole game to a 10 ft wide board representing Cook County.
 * On this board, both players have 304 pawns and 304 other pieces. Among them is one Councilman (formerly called the Vizier) which can move horizontally and vertically a number of tiles determined by a dice roll.
 * In chapter rules, leaving the table costs $1.38 per minute absent.
