About the Game

Neo Chess is an absorbing Chess variation inspired by Shogi, the Japanese chess game which is a distant relative of western chess. In Neo chess, any captured piece becomes a turncoat which may be re-entered on the board to fight for its captor.

This game is part of the Abacus wood box series.

This game was intended to be published in the 3M Bookshelf Series as Mad Mate but was never published in that series.
