Arms Race is a chess-like abstract strategy game for two players, which uses dice instead of chess pieces.

Each of the six faces of the dice match a chess piece: 1 is the Pawn, worth 1 point 2 is the Rook, worth 3 points 3 is the Knight, worth 3 points 4 is the Bishop, worth 5 points 5 is the Queen, worth 9 points 6 is the King, worth 13 points

Pieces move and capture according to their chess counterparts, except they promote to the next number on the list when capturing.

This creates a highly dynamic and ever changing game.
