Colour Chess & Lure

Colour Chess & Lure Information

Colour Chess and Lure are stand-alone games that can be combined. The game can be enjoyed by any level of ability, from kids (who enjoy focusing on the colours while they are learning the movement of the pieces), right through to Chess Masters (who expertly incorporate the colour strategies into their existing skill-set).

In both games the premise is similar: use the colours to control and predict your opponent’s movements.

Each player takes two turns at a time, but on the first turn players must move onto the same colour tile that their opponent moved onto on their last turn. This allows you to bait pieces, force movement and control certain colours on the board.

Strategies and skills learned through traditional Chess are directly applicable to Colour Chess, but you must learn to incorporate the use of colours in your strategy and adapt your skills to a new board every game.

There is also a strong emphasis on creativity and exploration, whether it is in the construction of the board, the different pieces and game modes you can combine, or how to escape a seemingly impossible situation!

In the Box

A whole host of modular components allow you to build all manner of board sizes from little puzzle style games, right up to oversized 9x9 or 10x8. With more than one set there is no limit to what you can make! (Oversize boards play particularly well with Swarm variations where many pieces move at once).

• 32x Traditional Chess Pieces (flippable for Swarm variations)
• 24x Lure Pieces (also flippable)
• 84x Coloured double-sided Tiles (40 x 40mm); coloured on the front and light / dark on the back
• 20x Frame pieces for making different size boards and holding everything snugly in place
• Full-colour Game Manual - 28 pages of instructions, variations and diagrams (most of it is variations and game setup ideas, you only need to read a few pages to start playing!)
