It was one of the games included in Icehouse: The Martian Chess Set and Pyramid Arcade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like its namesake, Martian Chess is a game of capturing pieces. Like Chess, Martian Chess is turn based, and played on a chessboard. In both games, players move and capture individual pieces, and each type of piece has distinct moving rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, Martian Chess differs from Chess in critical ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiece ownership is determined not by color but by location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of capturing a specific piece, winning is determined by points, making it possible to force the end of the game and still win with no pieces left in that player's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, Martian Chess easily supports 4 players as well as two, and can also be played with 3, 5 or 6 players if you use geomorphic chessboard sections; see this photo for an example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-4 Players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Min Play Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges 8+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabcontent\" id=\"Specifications\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBarcode: 857848004925\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eVendor: Looney Labs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LOONEY LABS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47824677896409,"sku":"110LOO","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0326\/4174\/5034\/files\/VR_857848004925_1_ae842cf2-6df5-4dd3-b48c-cc05ad422a6d.jpg?v=1771492389","url":"https:\/\/www.superoffice.com.au\/products\/martian-chess","provider":"SuperOffice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
