Steve Jackson Games Proteus, Strategy Board Game

• 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.
• New Pocket Box format; back in print after 20 years!

A dice game that plays a little like chess and a lot like nothing you've ever seen before! Played on a standard chessboard, each side gets eight unique, custom dice, with a different piece on each face. You start with eight pawns, and each turn you get to change one of your dice to a more powerful piece. But as your pieces get more powerful, they become worth more points to your opponent! The game is easy to learn, but mastering the intricate strategies will prove much harder.
