{"product_id":"schachen","title":"Schachen","description":"\u003cp\u003eSchachen (Chess Me) is a chess variant without a game board, which creates the fascination of a chess game in a compact way. Without long openings, the players enter directly into confrontation. The original rules of Chess are simplified\/expanded by a few additional rules.\n\nAt the start of the game, each player has a king and four pawns. Cards for the remaining chess pieces form a deck from which the player draws three. The active player first moves a piece according to the original rules for chess, then (optionally) chooses one of the three cards in hand, places it next to an existing card, then draws a replacement card. Pawns must be placed beside another pawn, and all other figures must be placed behind a pawn. The aim of the game remains the same: Checkmate the opponent's king!\n\nSchachen is for players who like and know chess, but who think the original game is too complex and takes too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.22 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heinrich Glumpler, Matthias Schmitt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Edition Erlkönig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51926206480600,"sku":"SB-735ADCF5CABD-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/szet65a0j7krs31v51y5k2vyzwa9.jpg?v=1785459807","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/schachen","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
