Chess + poker + dice, where your chips are your clock.
STRAT is a two-player game I designed that puts chess, poker and dice on one neon table. Every chess turn starts with a hand of poker. Win the hand and you earn pawns to drop onto the board, save for later, or spend knocking out an enemy pawn. Then the dice decide which piece moves and where it goes.
The twist: your poker chips are time. Every bet, blind and ante costs you time, and every pot you win gives time back. Checkmate your opponent, or run them out of time.
