Tank Chess: Central Square is an expansion for Tank Chess released in 2019 for 2 players, 30–90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Predrag Lazovic and Dragan Lazovic and its main mechanics are Square Grid, Grid Movement, and Line of Sight.
This expansion gives an abstract game a new suit. Instead of black and white squares with dark shapes as obstacles, the board shows city streets and you also receive the buildings to assemble, which play the role of the obstacles. The 3D printed elements (trees, columns) are also a part of the set and assembling the buildings is fun on its own. —description from the designer
Tank Chess: Central Square 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.
The listed playing time for Tank Chess: Central Square is 30–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tank Chess: Central Square for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
