Ostsee-Schach
Quick chess variant set among Baltic Sea animals, with players competing in a tournament of tactical movement and capture. Players take turns moving pieces according to the animal shown on them. Pieces can be stacked by moving onto opposing pieces, with stacks of three discs earning a victory point. Moving a piece to the opposite edge also scores, while reducing an opponent to one remaining piece causes a loss. The first player to collect three victory points wins.
