JUNIOR CHESS NEW VERSION

Description

Object of the Game

It’s simple! Just try to fit as many of your pieces on the board as you can.

Game Play

Each player chooses a color and takes that set of 24 pieces.

Decide who will go first. Player 1 places one of their pieces on either of the two starting points – starting points are marked with a circle. Player 2 places one of their pieces on the other starting point.

Players take turns laying down one piece at a time. Each new piece must touch at least one other piece of the same color, but only at the corners. Pieces of the same color can never touch along a side.

There are no restrictions on how different-colored pieces can touch one another.

Once a game piece has been placed on the board, it cannot be moved.

Whenever a player is unable to place a piece on the board, that player must pass their turn.

The game ends when neither player can place any more pieces.

End of the Game

Once the game ends, players count the number of squares in their remaining pieces. The player with the lowest number of squares wins!

EXAMPLE

• The green player placed all of their green pieces on the board. Number of Remaining Squares: 0
• The orange player could not place 1 three-square piece and 3 five-square pieces. Number of Remaining Squares: 18

The green player has the lowest number of squares (0) – so green wins!

PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• 48 game pieces (two 24-piece sets of red and green)
• Game board
• Instruction sheet
