An advanced version of Warlord Chess, designed by Cyborg Centaur Games, Wizard Chess adds the element of a classic deck of cards. Like Warlord Chess, it is a new set of rules for playing chess for two players, using a chess set. Players place pawns to act as Farmers, trying to form patterns which are used to recruit higher value pawns; but Bishops now act as Mages, and allow you to draw cards in your Hand of Magic. You can use the various combinations of cards like two pairs, three pairs etc. to cast mighty spells that alter the battlefield, adding a new depth to the rules of Warlord Chess. —description from the publisher
