The 2014 edition of Knightmare Chess includes the cards from both Knightmare Chess and Knightmare Chess 2 – 158 cards in all.

Single-deck play is way, way more fun than you think an "expansion" to CHESS would be.

Great game! As a chess player I was put off trying this but as soon as I played my first game I was hooked. Totally different and much faster than chess it's just a very entertaining, relaxing, mental romp. Excellent!

Another cool spice-up for chess. It's a bit chaotic to play too often but it's fun nonetheless. I can only play two consecutive games of KC before I call it quits for the night. I do very much enjoy it but, like I said, it's chaotic. Some of the cards just put chess on it's head. On one occasion we played we played Moab Knighmare Chess and it made my head hurt; all tactics with tonnes of chaos thrown it for good measure.
