Anyway, the game is called Loka and it is portrayed as "a Game of Elemental Strategy". I've heard it is like elemental Chess. I haven't gotten to play it, or read through the rules, but I thought I would show everyone what comes in the box.
First off, here is the complete boxed set.
Well...cat not included...
Below is what it looks like when you open said box.
The board is a nice 2-sided board. One side looks like a standard chess board, and the other side looks like a 4-sided elemental board.
Here is what the rest of the set looks like inside the box.
The rule book is approximately 20 pages. Again, haven't read it yet...but I'll get to it eventually.
These are some sort of square counters. Not sure what they are for yet.
Each of the elements/factions/armies, whatever you want to call them, comes in their own separate bag.
Below are all of the factions pulled out of their bags. I can see the resemblance to chess pieces already. Each set contains what looks like a King, Queen, Horse, Mage, Elemental Creature and 4 soldier minion types (assuming pawns).
And last, but not least, an assortment of dice: d4, d6, d8, d12 and d20. Not sure how these will play into a chess game, but it should be interesting.
Well that's everything in the box. Hopefully soon I will be able to get some people together and learn how to play it.
