Minimalistic 2-player tactical card game with elements of chess figures.

Players take turns in secretly placing 8 figure cards on a 4x4 board.

The last placed card is instantly revealed and begins a chain of attack = reveal an opponent's card in its reach, determined by the chess figure on it. Revealed figure's owner has to continue in the same fashion. The first player who cannot continue, loses.

In 3 and 4 player version, the board size is bigger and the game has a single loser - the one who cannot continue the chain of attack.
