Vector Tactics

In Vector Tactics, players command a squad of directional units on an 8×8 battlefield. Each piece is a puck-shaped token marked with one or more arrows. These arrows define exactly how the piece can move—no more, no less. After moving your piece, you have the option of rotating the piece, thus changing which directions it can go in subsequent turns. This upends the usual thought process around Chess, and introduces additional complexities and the ability to throw off your competition. Once you've placed the King into a checkmate scenario, you win. Each turn is a puzzle. Each rotation is a decision. Victory comes not from brute force, but from mastering directional control and positional pressure. It looks like chess, but it feels like war! —description from the publisher
