_Oberyn_ Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I used to play Chess but I gave it up a few years ago because I grew bored of it, Cyvasse sounds about ten times as much fun. Will Cyvasse be covered in this book and if yes to what extend? Any chance of a definite rule set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupis42 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I got the impression that it was like a combination of Stratego and Chess - Stratego in that each side sets up without knowing how the other side is setting up, and then Chess in that there are a bunch of pieces with varying strength and style of movement...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I got the impression that it was like a combination of Stratego and Chess - Stratego in that each side sets up without knowing how the other side is setting up, and then Chess in that there are a bunch of pieces with varying strength and style of movement... And there seems to be terrain as well. (Mountains, Rivers, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarantella Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 After reading Dance I really want to play a few rounds of cyvasse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisOneIsMulticolorWorm Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 but then it also seems that different units have different hit points, and are affected differently by different units.A full set of rules and sample pieces would be very welcome - then I get to whiddlin' and create a board of my own!

Val Dohaeris Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Trying to remember the pieces involved: dragon (one a side and probably as powerful as a queen in chess), archers, horse(?)...would be cool to play with a Westeros and Essos 3-D map.

Timur Khal Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 hmmm...I do recall some similar boardgames that might be inspirations. For example, an Indian game whose name I forget, involving 4 players w/ their own corners, ad peices ranging from elephants to infantry, ect.Another possibility might be Tamerlane Chess (http://www.chessvariants.com/historic.dir/tamerlane.html),which is a variant made to be much more complicated, and includes elephants, artillery, camels, giraffes, vizirs, 'citadels', and a specialized pawn 'promotion' system.At least that's what popped into my head.

Knight Of Laughing Tree Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I got the impression that it was like a combination of Stratego and Chess i was thinking this too, though they do know where the other players pieces are unlike strategy, but besides that the fact that they have terrain and different abilities depending on the piece make me think it could very much be a combo of the to, add in a little RISK and i think you'd have it.

The Shy Wolf Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'd imagine it had a similar board to chess yet larger,and intricately made pieces which probably had more advanced attacks, such as ranged attacks from bowmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
