A chess variant played on a quadruple Alquerque board (9×9, similar to Dablo Aasele). Each player has 18 pieces — the usual chess pieces plus a ninth pawn and an archbishop, which moves as a combined bishop and knight. The moves of the pieces are slightly adapted for the Alquerque grid: bishops and other diagonal-moving pieces can only move along grid...
Chess 1 was a hit, no doubt about it. Chess 2 seeks to build on the greatness of the original while addressing a few problems and also going in a new direction. There are now SIX ARMIES to choose from, rather than just 1, creating 21 matchups instead of just 1. There's a new win condition for crossing the midline of the board with your king (in addition to...
This modern chess variant doubles the excitement with a supersized 16x8 board, 2v2 gameplay, and 2 distinct game modes that demand both strategy and teamwork. It's the twist that let's you collaborate and dominate. The game comes with the 64 pieces (full set in 4 colors). The goal is still the same; checkmate the opponent team's king to win the game. It's...
This L-chess board is a modern variation of chess that let’s you start the game beside your opponent instead of facing him. With a unique board, players will think, analyze, and play differently forcing them to forego any old openings or strategies and discover new ways to play. Chess 90Degrees is faster and easier compared to standard Chess, but full of...
Like the standard game of chess, but the pieces behind the pawns on the white side are arranged at random, with the proviso that bishops must end up on opposite colors, and the king is somewhere between the two rooks. The black pieces are lined up to mirror the white. This results in 960 different possible positions, hence the name Chess960: 4 possible...
Chess Dungeon is chess-without-limits, created by Thomas P. W. James. Two or more people may play. Chess Dungeon applies the orthodox game language of Chess to an emergent playing space. It has no "board" as such - the playing area and the pieces that may be played are determined by custom, collectable playing cards. Each card may serve as either tiles of...
Chess for 4 is the second game in Gpip Design's 'for 4' series of games. Two rows of 8 fields are added on each side of a standard 8x8 chess board. 3 or 4 players can play; each player starts at a different side of the board. Standard chess rules apply, except that a piece that threatens a king cannot be captured. One king cannot be placed in check by two...
Chess for three people utilizing a unique 3-way board. Each player plays against the other two players. The player who checkmates first is the winner. The player who has been checkmated loses and the third player loses as well, no matter whether this player only passively assisted or even consciously or unconsciously helped the checkmating player. Each...
Chess In The 3rd Dimension offers a challenge not to be found in standard chess games. Here, you play in three dimensions instead of two. Consequently, each player must "see" the game in terms of left and right, forward and back, as well as vertical up and down, as though the men on the field are suspended along three planes of space. You must be wary, as...
