About the game
A fantasy card-game Chess supplement that transforms the classic game into a medieval fantasy adventure. Players create a deck of 15 cards that affect the game in various ways. These cards add new game setups and board variations, introduce special abilities, and provide an all-new level of strategy. Once all cards are exhausted, play continues until either a checkmate or a stalemate. A standard copy of Chess is required to play Kingdom of Elbrandt.
