	Description Edit \| History

Knightmare Chess adds a whole new element of unpredictability to the occasionally stale game of standard Chess by giving players cards that they can play before, after, or sometimes instead of their turns. Big fun for an evening of relaxed Chess play, but not recommended for purists.

Knightmare Chess 2
