Designed to be the truest, simplest hexagonal interpretation of the time-honored game of chess, this handsome portable game set is definitely NOT FOR SQUARES. Hexes Chess is played on 54 hexagons rather than 64 squares. Though it uses fewer "spaces" and fewer pieces than conventional chess, the hexagonal format greatly increases the mobility of each piece. If you are familiar with the rules of chess, you will find Hexes Chess to be logical and intuitive. Even if you are new to chess, the illustrated rulesheet will have you playing in minutes.
