Super Chess supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
Super Chess belongs to these categories: Card Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Command Cards. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Super Chess as an expansion for Chess. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Chess to use it. Check that your edition of Chess is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
