Description

Tic Tac Chec is both a chess teaching tool and a clever strategy game. Each player has four pieces: a knight, a rook, a bishop and a pawn. The object of the game is to be the first to align your pieces in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row. Play starts on an empty 4 x 4 board and players take turns placing a piece on any open square. Once at least three pieces are placed per player, they may move a piece, capture a piece or place their remaining piece. Captured pieces are returned to their player and may be replayed on any open square. An optional competitive format introduces constraints that reduce repetition and encourage forward progress: Players are limited to 30 seconds per turn. Each player may only make up to five captures per game. Once you have used your fifth capture, you may not capture for the rest of the game.
