Description

Get ready for a thrilling twist on the classic game of chess with Chess for Three. This 45-minute game is designed for three players, each playing against the other two on a unique 3-way board. The goal is simple: be the first to checkmate one of your opponents, and you win. But here's the catch - if one player gets checkmated, the game is over for all three players, regardless of whether the third player helped or hindered the checkmating process. As a result, each player must balance their own attack and defense with the need to prevent their opponents from checkmating each other. This adds a whole new level of strategy and complexity to the game, making it a must-play for fans of abstract strategy games. With its normal complexity level, Chess for Three is easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games, and its short playtime makes it perfect for a quick game night with friends.
