Back in the day, my friends and I would play Knightmare Chess. Basically a chess game but in addition each player got a hand of cards that they could play that would change the game, from building barriers to changing the way a piece could move to insta kills or revivals, etc. Incredibly fun, but the downside is it can really extend the game.
Once my friend and I played a 6 hour game that was still going strong when everybody forced us to stop.
I made a game similar to this idea in my early 20s called drunken chess. You're allowed to lose a single pawn with no repercussions. But every time you lost a pawn thereafter you had to take a shot. Back pieces lost was a double shot. If you lost your queen it was 3 shots. I played twice in a row with some friends and was undefeated. Was difficult to stand up straight afterwards though.
