Treasure Chess

Description

Race for the Gems!
The goal is simple: pick up the majority of gems on the board before your opponent does.

Much easier and quicker than standard chess, it is fascinating to play, and most games last only a few minutes.

Players take turns moving any one of their pieces, collecting all the gems that the piece passes over. There is no checkmating. Once a player has collected the majority of the gems available on the board, the game ends. If capturing is enabled in the game settings, a player who captures all his or her opponent's pieces is awarded all the remaining gems on the board.

Treasure Chess features a number of different computer opponents and variety of different scenarios with varying board sizes, pieces, and piece placements. A random placement option ensures that you never play the same game twice.

Kids find the game very easy to learn and play, and it helps introduce them to some of the pieces of standard chess.
