Not Chess

A card game to spice up your chess life. NOT CHESS is the ridiculous remix your dusty chess set has been waiting for.
A highly strategic (and highly goofy) party card game expansion to chess. Whether you’re a chess fanatic, or never played a game in your life, you’re ready to play. Just add NOT CHESS to your own chess set, or buy the Ultimate Box for all the glory.

In NOT CHESS, players work in teams to eliminate all of the opponent's pieces. These pieces are divided in to two types - each team has 1 Queen and 15 Not-Queens. While Queens can move any number of spaces, and kill opponents at any time, Not-Queens can only move 1 space, and can only kill pieces if coupled with a NOT CHESS action card. These 90 wacky cards allow pieces to move and murder in increasingly ridiculous ways, from teleporting across the board, to moving multiple pieces in a 'battering ram' to knock out the opponent.
