Designed to be the truest, simplest hexagonal interpretation of the time-honored game of chess, Hexes Chess is played on 54 hexagons rather than 64 squares. If you are familiar with the rules of chess, you will find Hexes Chess to be logical and intuitive. Though it uses fewer "spaces" and fewer pieces than conventional chess, the hexagonal format greatly increases the mobility of each piece. Rules include pawn promotion, en passant captures and castling. (See also Hexes Chess Animated Rulebook.)
