"The new challenge in Chess" Plex is a variation of Chess that can be played with 2-6 people. It's played on a hexagonal board (with hex-shaped spaces) with the pieces still moving in the same way as regular chess. In the 2 and 3 player variations, the pieces are set up similar to a normal chess board, in that each player's pieces are in 2 rows. In the 4-6 player variations, each player starts their pieces grouped together in a "corner" of the board. The rules are basically the same as chess: pieces move the same, capture the same, win the same way. The main difference is that players can team-up against each other now.
