CardChess

A chess variant for up to four players, played on a 10x10 board with four suits of cards representing traditional chess pieces. Several play modes are included: cards may be randomly placed face down, arranged in a traditional opening formation, or mixed together for a memory-based game. On each turn, players reveal a card and move an exposed piece according to chess rules. Victory is achieved by checkmating and capturing all opposing Kings. The components also support a standard two-player game of chess.

    A decent way to play four-way Chess. It kept me interested and occupied. See my review for more details...
