About the Game

Classic Chess atmosphere but the excitement of Scrabble or Monopoly.

Chess Empire gives you 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Bishops, 4 Knights, 4 Rooks, 14 Pawns, and our featured pieces: 2 Spies - which move like a Queen/Rook/Knight/Bishop but limited to only two spaces when it moves.

You can play with one player using the Strategy Cards (sold separately). There are 19 Strategy Cards total (14 offensive or striking strategies and 5 defensive or protection strategies) that are sold in booster packs.
