Chards

A game that combines Chess and cards. This is how it is described at the game's website: Chards TM uses a deck of 52 cards (Chards) with the normal suits: Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs. Each player selects a favorite suit, places their King on the board and begins to play. Chards are added to the board during play anywhere on the board so the playing field—and challenge—is always changing. Each Turn - Players do three things on their turn: Move a Chard, Turn (twist) a Chard, and Place a Chard from their stockpile. It's FUN! ... and Easy! Chess characters include Kings, Queens, Bishops, Knights, Rooks and Pawns. Card characters include Jacks and Jokers and Dukes (ever played with a deuce in cards?).
