Chess - Chaos on the Chessboard!

Chess will never be the same!  Knightmare Chess is chess played with cards - and what cards!   Each card breaks the rules in a wild and unpredictable way, giving the game more twists and turns than a roller coaster.  A translation of the popular French game ‘Tempete sur l’Echequier’ by Pierre Clequin and Bruno Faidutti, ‘Knightmare Chess’ has 80 big, beautiful cards - each with an individual color painting by Brazilian artist Rogerio Vilela.  

Some ‘Knightmare Chess’ cards affect a single move, while some change the entire game!   Each card is assigned a point value, so you can build custom decks based on an agreed point total, or handicap the match so the better player has fewer powerful cards.   The possibilities are endless - and so is the fun!
