Guess or chess? Read your opponents mind.

Each player has 8 cards with chess pieces disguised as marine animals (a Queen, a King, two Rooks, two Bishops, two Knights) at their disposal.

Players take turns in secretly placing 8 figure cards on a 4x4 board. Last placed figure is instantly revealed and begins a chain of attack = reveal an opponent's card in its reach. The first player who cannot reach any new card with their revealed figure, loses.

This game creates a surprising combination of card-placement, memory and chess tactic elements. For now, no one knows if there is an underlying magic formula or how difficult is to find it. Watch your cards, watch your moves. Watch your opponent if you can handle it all at once.
We are currently experimenting with 3 and 4 player variants.
