Mad Queen Chess
Read full descriptionHide full description
You know chess. You don’t know these opponents. Enter Mad Queen Chess and discover two unusual chess variants: Burden and Swarm Chess. Four battles await, each with its own characters, ambitions and trouble waiting across the board. In Burden Chess, Black’s army struggles under the demands of the Mad Queen or the unruly ambitions of rebellious knights and bishops. Fortunately, you have a say in just how powerful their domination becomes. Somewhere in the chaos lies your chance to win. Choose the burden they must carry and turn it against them. In Swarm Chess, danger arrives from farther afield. In Astral Invasion, seven powerful queens descend from outer space with every reason to expect an easy conquest. Survive your chosen number of moves and prove them wrong. In Black Horde, seven horses thunder across the steppe, led by a Khan who may have misjudged his chances. Checkmate him before your moves run out. Every move counts. Every opponent calls for a different approach. A strategy that brings one army to its knees may barely trouble another. Read the board, discover what makes your enemy vulnerable and give them something they did not prepare for. Each game brings its story to life with its own distinctive artwork and beautifully designed chess pieces. The computer responds at a comfortable pace, giving you a moment to think without keeping you waiting too long. And when victory comes, share an illustrated achievement card that lets your defeated opponents tell the story. Can you dethrone the Queen, crush the rebellion, survive the invasion and checkmate the Khan? Enjoy two free plays in each of the four games.
