In Proteus, two players duel across a regular chessboard – but their chessmen are six-sided dice. The piece that each die represents is determined by the symbol on top. And each die can be turned. So the bishop that just took your rook could be transformed into a knight next turn Players gain points by capturing their opponent’s dice. The player who captures the most pieces will not necessarily be the winner; it depends on the value of the captured pieces.
