<p>A game resembling chess is played on a hexagonal board (2) divided into 127 hexagons. The hexagons are of three different colours and so arranged that any three adjacent squares are of different colours. Each player has a set of men consisting of one king, two emperors, three sentries, three centurions, three tribunes, two consuls and eleven soldiers. The king can only move one square at a time but each of the other pieces has its own distinctive move which provides a much wider range of possibilities than chess.
