📖 About This Game

Glyph Chess is a chessboard style game for 2 to 3 players, adapted from a Chinese comic book, Tales of Tarsylia. It is said that Glyph is the most popular game in the magical world and can only be played by the most powerful wizards. To win, players must maneuver their pieces to get their Scepter Piece to the center of the board, or eliminate all enemy players’ Scepters.
