📖 About This Game
This suitcase contains a chess board and 51 dice and one giant die.
The most obvious game is a sort of chess with dice. The pieces are not ordinary chess pieces but are dice: D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20.
There are however more dice, some in different colors, and rules supplied so it's possible to play four other games - three of them for up to four players.
—description from the publisher (translated)
“DICE CHESS and other new dice games” is a game case with 5 different games played on a chessboard. Each game has its own strategy and opportunity for luck through dice rolls.
In DICE-SKAK, the chess pieces are replaced by the various multi-sided dice.
It's not just about knocking out your opponent through strategic considerations, but also about the place you want to conquer in the game. If you have the right dice, your chances can be very good. However, if you're unlucky, even the queen can't beat the bishop or pawn.
This makes it easier and more fun for children to immerse themselves in the world of chess without being beaten by inexperience. Through testing and research, children find out which dice are advantageous to attack or defend with in relation to the opponent's choice.
“The best thing about DICE CHESS is that you play chess without actually playing chess,” says Ebbe Berthold (9 years old) who is the inspiration for this game.
