Description
A strategic board game for two players, where participants compete for control over mystical zones and portals. Using double-sided tokens and simple core mechanics, players capture territories and attempt to move their pieces into their opponent’s portal. Most players have called it “new chess.”
The game is suitable for children aged seven and up as well as adults, with the option to gradually learn the rules. The set includes 9 sections that form the game board and 54 tokens, making each match unique and engaging. In addition to the basic mechanics, there are layered rules that increase in complexity with each level, introducing various mechanics and tactics.
Game setup takes just a few minutes, including assembling the board and distributing the tokens. The duration of a match varies depending on the complexity of the chosen rules, the size of the game board, and the skill level of the opponents. A game can last from 10 minutes to an hour or more, allowing it to be adapted to different preferences and circumstances.
