→Rules of the Game
One of the ancient rules of regicide is for onlookers to not offer players advice mid-play. Playing pieces are typically two distinct colours, sometimes black and green. When deciding who will play which colour, the playing board might be spun to see who comes up as which colour.{{Fn|7}}
Many variations of regicide have been played throughout the Imperium across its 's long history, with . Some variations including include the use of 'hooded' pieces, which play as a different piece until revealed.{{Fn|4}} A ‘hooded’ board meant that several pieces, predetermined before the commencement of the game, were held in reserve. When deployed, such pieces would remain hidden, represented as lowly Citizens, until such time as they turned or killed another piece.{{Fn|4}}
Double regicide is another variation. It features two boards in parallel, one played backwards using militants as crowning pieces, the other played long with sentries wild and a freedom to regent-up on white-square takes after the third sequence of play.{{Fn|11b}}
