The Chess Player
The game "Final Chess" is a strategy boardgame that takes place around a table with each player starting in their corresponding color square, facing an opponent who sits opposite them at the same end of the playing field as themselves. Players take turns moving chess pieces on and off the board to manipulate various cards such as power points (PP), victory point flags (VPF) or black squares that can be used for special effects like randomization in a draw. The game uses an elaborate system based upon these symbols which are all illustrated above, with different animations being made depending on when they appear on screen and where the player is looking at them from within their hand-held device's camera lens; thus creating movement of the chess pieces around the board as well as playing cards that come to life. The final card in each deck becomes active upon landing faceup onto a certain space, which then affects players' play by changing squares or colors on either side (as seen below).
