"New company Out of the Box were showing the prototype of Bosworth, a board and card game. The cards show characters that are the equivalent of Chess pieces - with an outline behind them to reinforce the point. Cards/pieces move and take as Chess pieces and the aim of the game is to be the last king to control Bosworth field. You start with four pawns on the board - your camp - and a hand of four cards. In your turn, you move a card, play one into your camp (if you can), and refill your hand. That's it. Simple (everyone knows Chess, surely) and quick, with enough depth to support lots of playing. It works well with two, three or four players."
