Abstract:
A chess-like game for use by two players and comprising a checkerboard having a checkered playing area with ranks and files of bilaterally alternating colored spaces. A set of chess pieces consisting of a subset of eight royalty figures for one of the players are initially positioned to form a royalty row along the rank at the edge of the playing area. The chess pieces further comprise a subset of eight pawn figures for the one player and are initially positioned on the playing area in the row adjacent the row occupied by the royalty figures to form a pawn row in front of the royalty row, as is conventional in the game of Chess. The set further comprises a subset of six horsemen-like figures which are representative of war, famine, plague, death, fire, and vanity, and each horsemen figure has the ability to move on the checkered playing area in a manner that symbolizes the attribute of the name which it bears.
