Martian Chess*

Martian Chess is a game for 2-4 players that uses Icehouse pieces and requires each player to have their own supply and a chessboard. Similar to chess, players take turns moving and capturing pieces, with each type of piece having its own movement rules. Key differences include determining ownership by location rather than color, scoring based victories instead of capturing pieces, and the ability to play with up to six players using geomorphic chessboard sections.
