{"product_id":"martian-chess","title":"Martian Chess Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartian Chess is a 2-4 player game that uses Icehouse pieces, requiring one stash per player, as well as a chessboard. It was one of the games included in Icehouse: The Martian Chess Set as well as Pyramid Arcade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch like its namesake, Martian Chess is a game of capturing pieces. Like Chess, Martian Chess is turn based, as well as played on a chessboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn both games, players move and capture individual pieces, and each type of piece has distinct moving rules. However, Martian Chess differs from Chess in critical ways: Piece ownership is determined not by color but by location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of capturing a specific piece, winning is determined by points, making it possible to force the end of the game and still win including no pieces left in that player's control. Lastly, Martian Chess easily supports 4 players as well as two, as well as can also be played with 3, 5 or 6 players if you use geomorphic chessboard sections; see this photo for an example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2-4 Players 20 Min Play Time Ages 8+ Vendor: Looney Labs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOONEY LABS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48015592325337,"sku":"110LOO","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8771\/4265\/files\/VR_857848004925_1_ae842cf2-6df5-4dd3-b48c-cc05ad422a6d.jpg?v=1771993540","url":"https:\/\/www.supergamers.com.au\/products\/martian-chess","provider":"SuperGamers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
