The speed of a card game combined with the strategy of chess. ShuffleChess takes the classic, strategic movements of chess and injects them into a fast-paced, highly portable card game.

Whether you are a chess master looking for a fresh twist or a card game fan wanting deeper strategy, ShuffleChess sets up in seconds and delivers intense, quick-fire matches anywhere you go. How It Works The Grid: Lay down the 8 play-area cards to instantly create your 4x4 battlefield. The Deck: Draw your hand from a custom 21-card themed deck. The Play: Deploy your cards onto the grid. Your cards move and capture exactly like traditional chess pieces. The Twist: Unleash Action Cards to break the rules, surprise your opponent, and secure victory. Capture your opponent's King to win the game! -description from the designer
