Your king is in Atari -- check!

Surely, I can't be the only game geek who looked at this XKCD comic, and immediately started wondering how that game would work. It's weirdly tempting to try and figure out hybrid rules that actually function...

Nope. :)

What I'd really like to know, though, is the rules for the 4-player game, where you have Go(ish) and Chess(ish) played simultaneously on the same board, with each influencing the other in some fashion. (Possibly with moves that are blind/simultaneous among some subset of players? Not sure.)
