Chebache - A New Strategy Game

--by Kelly Tompkins: Bellaonline's Board Game Editor

Excerpts from this review:

• "If you love strategy games such as Checkers, Backgammon and Chess, you’re sure to love Chebache. You’ll recognize elements from each of these classic games - and much more. The strategies are deep, the movement choices are plenty and the flow of the game is ever-changing."
  
• "...Backgammon has been my favorite strategy game, but it actually seems a little boring compared to Chebache! (Sorry, Backgammon.) For the strategy board game lover, this is a great, challenging and fun game. It takes elements of the classics to a whole new level."

Review of Chebache

 --  by Kerry Handscomb for Abstract Games Magazine

Excerpts from this review:

• ``I found the appearance of Chebache to be immediately appealing: the board is a bold abstract design, consisting of an enlarged 4 X 4 checkerboard with symbols indicating the special function of some of the squares.''
  
• ``The effort is well worth the reward. This is an attractive and interesting game.''

Chebache: A Review

 --  by Jake Davenport for ContagiousDreams.com
To our knowledge, this was the first review posted about Chebache.

Excerpts from this review:

• ``If you really like Backgammon, graduate to Chebache.''
  
• ``Whenever a game designer combines several ideas from several games, I often find myself wishing I could just go back and play the original game. Now, whenever I play Backgammon, I find myself wishing that I was playing Chebache.''

Chebache

-- by Lisa Kavanagh for NightsandWeekends.com

Excerpts from this review:

• "Chebache combines checkers, backgammon, and chess to challenge even the most serious strategists."
  
• "This is the kind of game you play with a friend for years, constantly challenging each other's intellect. The more you play, the more strategies you can develop, so the game is always challenging."
