Description

3.0

Step back in time to the ancient roots of chess with Chaturanga, a strategic two-player game from 6th-century India. Unlike modern chess, here the advisor moves only one square diagonally, the elephant jumps two spaces, and stalemate is a loss—not a draw. Perfect for history buffs and abstract strategy fans who enjoy a fresh twist on a classic.
