Chessheads: The Chessboard Trading Card Game Review
What's the Deal With Chessheads?
Chessheads isn't a game by itself, it's something you add to a normal game of chess to spice it up - like adding ketchup to a burger for that extra taste sensation. It comes as a pack of cards, each player draws one card per turn and each card lets you do something wacky to the chess match.Check and Mate with Chessheads
Doing wacky stuff to a chess game will totally wreck the strategy, right? Nope - even if a card lets you mash a bunch of pieces into a giant chess-blob-monster (and one does!) the strategy is still there, just cooler. Plus, you can collect the whole set of cards, and there's a story to the game that involves evil alien monsters and stuff.Chessheads - Strategy Blunders
The trickiest part about Chessheads is learning the rules for the cards, some of them take a while to figure out. You'll also want to grab a bunch of extra chess pieces - for cards that bring extra pieces onto the board. There are tokens included in the game packs, but real pieces are way cooler!Chessheads - Final Move
The bottom line is that Chessheads is a very cool way to add a dose of action to chess, which can get pretty dull. Once you get the extra pieces and sort out the rules, it's a blast.Chessheads Thumbs Up:
