The Ultimate Variant Game

Queen's Honor® is the Ultimate Challenge Game. Similar to Chess , Queen's Honor® has a few differences.

Created by Karl Erickson, Queen's Honor® is played on the King’s Battlefield® A bonus game designed to help re-enforce the importance of both men and women in our battle of life. While both in the game of Chess and the King's Battlefield® game, the King is the most important piece and must be protected, in the Queen's Honor® game the King's Army battles to protect the most important piece, the Queen. The King and his Army will do everything necessary to secure the safety and honor of the Queen.

In addition the Army now battles for the Queen's Honor® , and will work to keep her safe.

Queens Honor TM is played using all of the Old Game, with slightly New Rules creating the Ultimate Play A 'Round Chess Challenge Challenge
