The game board is printed on gold stock paper. The photo's give an impression of the pieces and the board. The rules give some options, the main one whether one wants to play in two teams of two, or whether each player wants to play for himself against all three others. For a serious game, I recommend the version to play the game with two teams of two players. That variant is one I like a lot.
Nice tactics are possible.
For instance, when both players of a team attack one player of the opposing team, the last player should do something to ward of that attack, either by counterattacking one of the attackers, or coming to the rescue by moving some of his own pieces to the battle area. Still, chess skills are essential to play this game well, while having a good partner can be as important as it is in games like Bridge. Chessapeak Games Ltd. Below, you find some pictures I took with the little camera of my SGI workstation to give an impression of the set.
