The rules are the same, but the game is dangerously different. Players are able to use military strategies never seen before. Now two, three, or four players can pit kingdom against kingdom. 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 chessaction. The two-sided board is made of cardboard, and the included chessmen have 2 3/4 tall kings and are made of hollow plastic. Game comes with 4 sets of chess pieces (gold, silver, ivory, black), Chess 4 Game Board measuring 20 by 20, and a Standard Chess Game Board measuring 20 by 20. Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism I've only played once so far because it takes a little over two hours to play if you've got good opponents. Normal chess is like "how can I manuever around this person while avoiding their attacks" while this is like "I'm in the center of chaos". If you aren't watching everything, every second, you're done for. One person I was playing with had another person's queen surrounded with 2 of his own knights and a knight he had captured, and player 2 went to move his queen towards a king, paying acute attention to whether he would put himself in a spot where any of those three knights could kill him. He took his fingers off his queen finally, after determining he was safe, and I killed him with a pawn. This game is intense, I love it. Chess 4 Game Available from Amazon Updated on 12-1-2008.
