Chess Variants

CHESS 4

Ever wish there was a way you could play chess with more than two players? Here it is! Now two, three, or four players can pit kingdom against kingdom with Chess 4. In Chess 4 you can play individual games, or in teams of two allowing less experienced players to team up with the masters. In this version players can also capture a king instead of checkmating him, and use his pieces against the rest of their opponents! A standard chess board is also included for traditional chess action. The two-sided board is made of cardboard, and the included chessmen have 2 3/4" tall kings and are made of hollow plastic. Contents of Chess 4: 4 sets of chess pieces (gold, silver, ivory, black) Chess 4 Game Board 20" by 20" Standard Chess Game Board 20" by 20"		CHESS FOR THREE - WOODEN

Chess for Three - Wooden features a beautiful hand made chess board and pieces from Poland. The board folds in half becoming a felt lined case to store all three sets of men inside. Comes complete with rules and instructions for this interesting variation of classic chess. Contents of Chess for Three - Wooden: Folding wooden chess board Dark wooden chess pieces Light wooden chess pieces Purple stained wooden chess pieces Instructions		CHINESE CHESS

Chinese Chess, Elephant Chess or Xiangqi, is possibly the most popular board game in the world! Enjoyed by millions of people in China and other parts of Asia, this game will be enjoyed in your house as well. The folding wood board measures 11 1/4" by 12 1/4" by 7/16". The 32 plastic playing pieces are ivory colored measuring just over 1" in diameter and 5/16" thick. Instructions are included.
CHINESE CHESS - DELUXE

This beautiful Chinese Chess set comes with glass pieces that measure approximately 1 inch in diameter.

When folded, the board measures approximately 12" x 8" x 1 1/4" and is stored in a zippered nylon storage bag with handle.		EASTER ISLAND

On Easter Island, located in the South Pacific, only a trace of the long since vanished inhabitants exists; giant statues called "Moai". The Moai are so large and heavy that attempts by modern man to recreate them have been extremely difficult at best. This game speculates that the statues were weapons in a giant game created by two powerful wizards and the island itself used as a huge game board! You are now one of those wizards, positioning your statues and calling upon the power of the Sun to defeat you opponent. Ready to go BIG? Play Easter Island! Contents of Easter Island: A full-color game board Sun Tokens Complete Rules 14 custom sculpted "Moai Statue" pawns		KNIGHTMARE CHESS

Chess will never be the same! Knightmare Chess is chess played with cards - and what cards! Each card breaks the rules in a wild and unpredictable way, giving the game more twists and turns than a roller coaster. A translation of the popular French game Tempete sur l'Echequier by Pierre Clequin and Bruno Faidutti, Knightmare Chess has 80 big, beautiful cards - each with an individual color painting by Brazilian artist Rogerio Vilela. Some cards affect a single move, while some change the entire game. The possibilities are endless - and so is the fun! Please Note: this is not a stand-alone game, a chess set is needed for play.
KNIGHTMARE CHESS 2

You've never played chess like this! Unless of course, you have the original Knightmare Chess! Here are 80 more cards to wake up your chess game. Knightmare Chess 2 offers the same exciting gameplay as the original, but has all-new cards! Please Note: you do not need the original Knightmare Chess to play but you will need a chess set.		NOBLE CELTS - CIRCULAR CHESS

Noble Celts - Circular Chess reintroduces a form of chess that all but disappeared during the dark ages! Although the chess pieces still move the same as in European Chess, the lack of side edges on the Noble board makes this variant an exciting alternative to an ancient game. The richly decorated Celton-Saxon styled chessboard is made of distressed faux leather producing a well-worn look that adds to the richness of this dynamic game, and the original chess pieces are cast from beautiful hand carved designs developed by artist Don Green. No matter your chess skill level, Noble Celts will keep you entertained for hours! Contents of Noble Celts - Circular Chess: Faux leather gameboard (26" x 26") 32 original cast resin chess pieces Instructions		STRATO CHESS

Strato Chess takes the game of chess into the third dimension! Players risk being attacked from either above or below and must think of the game in terms of left, right, forward and back as well as up and down. The multi level game board is 12" high and professionally designed in brushed aluminum with black and crystal clear polish. This unique type of chess set is also known as "Space Chess" and "3-D Chess".
