If you die, you must play against death to get back into the game. You can play as many times as you'd like

Some ideas:

• Whenever you finally beat death, you get a piece from the death-set, the only way to collect them
  • It can spawn at the site of death or be given to the player or be on the ground where they spawn... maybe make those options?
• You choose the difficulty of the game with chess, minimal difficulty spawns you as normal, advanced you come back with all your kit and levels, scale in between
