About the Game

A quick chess-like game for two players. Each player controls a small team of Pokemon and tries to take out the enemy Victini (king piece). The pieces have power ratings like Stratego, but a weaker/equal attacker gets to draw a "plus power card" in hopes of luckily winning the fight. A piece is flipped over to its reverse side (which usually has weaker power) when damaged once, and destroyed when damaged a second time. Lost pieces count towards the cost needed to summon the legendary Pokemon, impressive 2x2 pieces with high power but mediocre movement. The Victini is protected by its egg, which can absorb three hits.
