About this expansion

Knightmare Chess 2 is a two-player chess game with a 60-minute play time, adding 80 cards that bring extra unpredictability to the board.

Players can use these cards before, after, or sometimes instead of their turns. This creates a modified chess experience that can depart from ordinary chess while preserving the familiar foundation of the game.

Knightmare Chess 2 can be played in two ways: as a stand-alone game or as an expansion to the original Knightmare Chess. It gives players another collection of cards for changing how a game of chess unfolds.

  • For 2 players
  • Approximately 60 minutes of play time
  • Includes 80 additional cards
  • Cards may be played before, after, or sometimes instead of a turn

The extra cards make each session less predictable than traditional chess. They are intended for big fun during an evening of relaxed chess play, rather than for players seeking a strictly purist chess experience.

As a companion to the original release, Knightmare Chess 2 expands the modified game with more possibilities and more surprises. It also stands on its own for players who want to add card-driven unpredictability to chess.

Released in 1998, this expansion offers a straightforward way for two players to explore a more unpredictable version of the classic game. It integrates with Knightmare Chess when used as an expansion.
