Dandelion mini-shatranj & mini-chaturanga

Chaturanga, of course, is the medieval Indian game that became contemporary chess after it passing through Persia as shatranj and into Europe. Dandelion shatranj is a minimalistic miniature shatranj inspired by mini-shogi (tho with somewhat less interesting gameplay) and named for the small, weedy flowers that pop up everywhere so easily. Gameplay and moves are exactly like shatranj, but occurs on a 5x5 board with only six pieces and a somewhat modified setup.

King (K): Moves as in orthodox chess.
Counselor (C): Moves one square diagonally in any direction.
Knight (N): Moves as in orthodox chess.
Elephant (E): Moves two squares diagonally in any direction, jumping over the intervening square.
Rook (R): Moves as in orthodox chess.
Pawn (P): Moves as in orthodox chess. When they arrive at the last rank on the board, pawns promote to counselors only.

Miniature shatranj has very limited play, but may be fun for a few games. There are only three or so viable opening moves, for example, and the elephant can only visit three squares on the board including its starting square. The king is fairly powerful, often threatening as many squares as the rook.

Mini-chaturanga is a group of variants on mini-shatranj, offering different early historical versions of the elephant's move. Standard mini-chaturanga is essentially the same as mini-shatranj, but the first player to expose a bare king wins without exception.

War Elephant Mini-Chaturanga: The elephant can move two squares orthogonally in any direction, jumping over the intervening square. This is the move of the Dabbabah, or war engine.

Silver Elephant Mini-Chaturanga: The elephant can move one square diagonally in any direction, and one square orthogonally forward. This is the move of the silver general of contemporary xiangqi and shogi, but in mini-chaturanga this piece does not promote.

Double Happiness Mini-Chaturanga: The elephant can move two squares orthogonally or two squares diagonally, jumping over the intervening square. This unhistorical move, as the alibaba, combines the move of the elephant and the dabbabah.
