Game: Tile Chess
Number of Players: 2 to 6
Level: Beginner through Master (although an understanding of the basic moves of Chess are required)
Description: In Tile Chess, the traditional chess pieces move across a virtual "board" of ever-changing size and shape. Strategy becomes more complex; as you conquer each of your opponents, you take over their pieces! To win, you'll have to think outside the board . . . 
Tile Chess is designed for 2 to 6 players. It's even more portable than chess - there is no board, and the tiles will fit in a pocket. You can play on a table, a bar, the floor . . . wherever you like.
