What would happen, if while playing a quite ordinary game of chess, your chessmen could acquire additional moving capabilities as they played? Welcome to Plunderchess! Traditional chess with a twist, each player can strengthen their chessmen by 'plundering' additional moving abilities directly from their opponent's captured pieces. When a piece gets captured, the capturing piece may attach to itself a special vest that empowers it to move as that piece on one future move whenever it chooses. The chess pieces are made of solid plastic construction with green felt pad bottoms; the vest pieces are made of solid plastic construction as well and vary by color, title and empowerment. The king is 3.75 inches high with a base diameter of 1.25 inches. Please note that a chess board/mat is NOT included with this game; any standard tournament size chess board/mat may be used. A board with 2.25 inch squares is recommended. Each game set comes with: 36 Chessmen (with an extra king & queen for each player) 15 Vest pieces 1 'Last Move' marker 1 Plystone 8-post vest stand (used to store the vest pieces when not in play) |
