Abstract:

A game of skill and chance for two, a game board, and method for play requires a chess board imprinted with an alternating pattern of card suites, a set of chess pieces, and euchre cards. Play follows chess rules, euchre rules, and a new set of rules. In one embodiment play begins with chess moves but when a piece is attacked a euchre trick must be played to determine winner of attack. The role of dealer rotates between the two players every time a hand is played. Trump suite identity changes with every attack and is determined by the card suite imprinted on the site of the attacked piece. One variation requires the king to be removed from the board as is any other piece. Another variation is that the game board is rotated during play to equalize the chances of winning for two players of varying levels of skill.
