Krikos. Play chess in circles
Krikos
from FD Games
Krikos is chess as you've never seen it before. It takes a (circular) Byzantine Chess board, colours it as modern chess, uses modern chess pieces and moves - and adds that touch of magic from FD games that makes this into a refreshing new game.
Players need to know the basic rules and moves of modern chess - the rest is learnt in a matter on minutes; but, with Krikos, those clever chess players who have learnt all the 'standard' openings will have to start again. The board makes Krikos a brand-new game.
- the four boards that make up the playing area, rules & e-mail support are included but a set of standard chess pieces are required for the game.
