The Gambit Game
Live-action chess across the map — find the pieces, gamble your points, and go for checkmate.
About the game
Strategy, communication, teamwork — and one decisive question: how much will you gamble?
Blacks versus Whites. On the board-game map, chess pieces of different values wait to be found. Clicking a piece reveals how far away it is and hints at its challenge — but before opening its tasks, each team must decide how much to GAMB(LE) IT: play for the minimum, or double or triple the piece's score. One shot. No second chances.
And when the time comes: take down the opposing Queen and King. Checkmate.
Characteristics

- Communication, leadership, and teamwork
