Review: A game with many memories to come - This is like Chess, but it has never been so different. I bought this to play with my friends at the chess club. everyone was quite blown away about the fact that it could be played up to four people! the contents are depicted by the picture of the board. there is board, a small guide on how to play, and four chess colors to choose from (white, black, silver, and, gold). the game starts out like any other chess game, but it changes really quick. one move can put someone in check while at the same time leave a gap behind your defenses (vice-versa). the game can be played individually or by teams, either way it leads to a thrilling game because you do not really know what might happen even though you are an experienced player or not. the game really does feel like the box depicts it, a WAR haha. it's a war because of the teamwork, you have to work silently and know each others movements because the other team can hear you. Another reason is because of betrayal. if the party of players does happen to play individually, you might think someone is helping you, but at the last second they have check/ checkmated you (or two people at the same time). This is what i meant by the game being played individually or by teamwork. It is truly a fun game to enjoy. I had lots of fun with my friends and i definitely recommend this to any chess lover, the reason is because it's a new refreshing way to play. The Pros: a whole new way to play chess a glossy and shiny board fine crafted pieces The Cons: The placement of the carpet material on the bottom of the pieces are slightly not centered (some are misplaced) To anyone reading this, the Cons are something that didn't really bother me. I just fixed it myself by taking them out and putting them in the center. I am so glad i bought this, to me the quality of the product is superb, but what's more amazing is the laughs and memories you will enjoy with your friends and family. Review: John N. Hansen's Chess 4 is the ultimate chess set for Human Players (Four kingdoms, four armies, four Queens) - This is the best International Chess playing experience ever had the joy to perform. The John N. Hansen: Chess 4 is the product for Chess fans that can hold his own against the other three chess armies. Think your Queen alone can save your army? How about three Queens coming for your army? This Four Player Chess set has all plastic pieces (kind of smallish, one piece was defective-- like the Igor servant in the Young Frankenstein movie.) Have discovered the best way to survive a three Queen attack is to setup the Pawns like in [Pavlov's The Pawn] chess book. Worry not about the other armies Queens. The Pawns are the best defense and the Knights are the best offense in multiple player chess sets because the Queen is useless, the Rooks are a liability after castleling, and the Bishops have no where to go. This leaves only the Knights in maneuver warfare. Once the opponents Knights are gone while your Pawns remain, be impossible for them to come at you. Remember the better Player will protect and defend both Knights in a Entrenchment Warfare. Forget the Queens. Have now played nineteen games with the other three Players without my Queen and won all nineteen games. How is this possible? Entrenchment is possible because now all four players traverse a much larger chess board covering more territory thus favoring the "Mobile Defender" rather than the "Attackers". Have capture the opposing forces' Queens within twenty moves and capture their Kings in just thirty eight moves because they can go no where. Interesting discovery, from now on will continue to play all comers without the Queen. Not needed at all. In Elephant Chess, Shogi, Korean Chess, there are no Queens or Kings. Just like learning a new language-- "Who can read English fastest?" Of course the person whose cultural language has no prepositions, no adverbs, proverbial of place, no tense, no gender, no extras, but just pronouns and verbs! Recommend this John N. Hansen: Chess 4 (four player chess set) because it confirms three historical theories... 1) Never send a Queen to do a Pawn's job. 2) Without the Queen the King has no distraction. 3) Your opponents' horses can feed your army. The user of this product will improve a Player's skill very quickly, especially without the Queen! ## Features - 20" x 20" board - 1 set gold, black, silver, ivory men - King measures 2.5" - Includes rules for Chess Four and traditional chess - Men weighted and felted ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BNLVBS | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #121,342 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,794 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | John N.

Do you know where I can get one?** A: Hi:Probably pick up a cheapy chess set, at a Dollar Store or something. You may be lucky enough to even get a gold & black colored set. If not; just paint the white queen piece with some primer, then some nice gold enamel model paint, about $3.00 for 20ml bottle. That's what I would do, if I didn't want the hassle of returning the whole set!Good luck ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A game with many memories to come *by L***T on January 4, 2015* This is like Chess, but it has never been so different.

Size is perfect 2. Design & looks are interesting & yet recognizable. 3. Color is good 4. Although it's plastic, the weight is still ok, it can sit still on the board. The Board: 1. Nice durable & sturdy carton. 2. Can be folded into quarter of its size. 3. The seams are not noticeable when you unfold it. 4. The design looks good except the artwork on each square that's sometimes giving me the dizzy feeling when i look at it for too long. The Game: This is the best feature of this product - i've been playing Chess for over 30 years & the concept of this game is G-R-E-A-T...just like the description on the box- it's not just a game, it's a WAR! I suggest that you may want to revised the rule just like what other reviewers had mentioned esp when a player conquered a "kingdom". And since this could be a great game for a party, I'm planning to create my own version of this game with larger pieces & not so dizzy game board. I already ordered a Staunton Chess pieces which of course will come in Black & white; then I will order another similar set & will dye it with a different color like Gold & Silver. I recommend this to anyone who is a Chess afficionado, not for novice peeps. Hope this helps...I'm getting one for my Chess Buddy who lives in Australia! ## Frequently Bought Together - John N.
