I tinkered those 2 games a little bit and I came up with the following value of pieces based on their values in Omega Chess (omega chess website), Grand Chess (H.G.Muller values from wikipedia), Ralph Betza's evaluation of the aanca and griffin, mobility calculation for zebra, and my own observations playing the games, I also named the two games so I think I'm ready to maybe submit them, eventually:

Apothecary chess1

rook                   6

wizard               3.8

champion            4

knight                 4

bishop                4

queen                12

aanca                 7

griffin                8.75

 

Apothecary chess2

zebra                  3

camel               3.2

elephant            3.7

knight                3.4

bishop                4

queen                12

archbishop         10

marshall            11

 

I decided to name the games apothecary chess as they are obtained adding somewhat arbitrary mutations to well known games in the way apothecaries used to tinker their receipts.
