It was one of the games included in Icehouse: The Martian Chess Set and Pyramid Arcade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch like its namesake, Martian Chess is a game of capturing pieces. Like Chess, Martian Chess is turn based, and played on a chessboard. In both games, players move and capture individual pieces, and each type of piece has distinct moving rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, Martian Chess differs from Chess in critical ways:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiece ownership is determined not by color but by location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstead of capturing a specific piece, winning is determined by points, making it possible to force the end of the game and still win with no pieces left in that player's control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLastly, Martian Chess easily supports 4 players as well as two, and can also be played with 3, 5 or 6 players if you use geomorphic chessboard sections; see this photo for an example.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Looney Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32486628851763,"sku":"LOO-110","price":17.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5241330.jpg?v=1600317408","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/martian-chess","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
