AKA The Zodiac Game, Celestial Chess

Variant of Chess

A chess variant from the Alfonso MS, which is almost (but not quite) completely unlike Chess.

As far as I've ever been able to tell, this is a gambling game of pure luck, whose most interesting element is the action figures you use as your pieces.
