So... the first move is to take the other guys rook?

Ha, Ha. No..................... there are some rules variations regarding adjacent players. It is a fun variation and well thought out.

Just reach inside the guard with your finger and push to one side or the other. It will click one notch at a time. Works well, good quality.

Sure, you CAN play against yourself (I did just that to learn the rules) but it's meant to be played competitively against another player (or more than one.)

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

Pair? If you need a guard on both arms, you're really doing something wrong. :)

Ordinarily that is done within whichever game is being played. (Perhaps I didn't understand the question)

It's meant to be a duel. Think of it like chess, but with bugs. You could try to play with more if you had other sets, I suppose.

Just the player that response the quickest. Then the game will need to be reset with the white controller (white egg)

I just say yes because if one player becomes traitor they just move the other characters to a non traitor

I would say Yes in that there are people that will play with only two players, but using two characters each, then once the traitor is revealed one person takes over the three non-traitors and the traitor only controls the traitor. Works decently enough.

King = 4"; Queen = 3-1/4"; Rook 2"; Knight 2-1/2"; Bishop 2-1/8"; Pawn 1-3/4"

Yes, for example, you have 2 through queen on one stack and a king only on another. Click and hold on the queen and move it to the king. Is this what you were asking?

Basically place one piece at a time switching player to player. The first with 5 in a row or 5 captures wins. To capture you get two pieces on opposite sides of two pieces in a line (cannot capture lines of 3+ or 1 just two).

i don't believe so, the game-play doesn't involve you directly controlling one unit, you have to command them to do things...

You could, but the game is mostly cooperative, and can be quite difficult the less players you have, actually its difficult all the time. :) If either of the 2 players is a "cyclon" then they can just steamroll the other player.

I love this game. You really have to think to win and get the most points. The kids like it too, but I don't think they like to think so much. Similar to the strategy of chess. But not as hard!

I didn't think about this possibility until you asked. I would think splitting into two groups and somehow taking the winners against the other winners would be a fine contest. I really think it would be easier playing with two sets than one. However, 1 tower and two sets of "thingees" would be quite hard. Good luck. Ollie
