Description

Knightmare Chess is a thrilling twist on the classic game of Chess, introducing a whole new level of unpredictability to the traditional strategy. This expansion, designed by Bruno Faidutti and Pierre Cléquin, adds a deck of cards that players can use to shake up the game, playing them before, after, or even instead of their turns. With 158 cards to choose from, including those from both Knightmare Chess and Knightmare Chess 2, the possibilities are endless. Some cards will affect just a single move, while others will change the course of the entire game, keeping you on your toes and forcing you to think on your feet. In this 90-minute game for two players, you'll need to balance your traditional Chess strategy with the unpredictable nature of the cards. The rules are straightforward, making it easy for board game enthusiasts to pick up, but the added element of card play ensures that no two games will ever be the same. As an expansion for the base game of Chess, Knightmare Chess offers a fresh take on a familiar favorite, and its normal complexity level means that fans of abstract strategy and card games will feel right at home. Whether you're a seasoned Chess player or just looking for a new challenge, Knightmare Chess is sure to deliver a fun and exciting experience.
