All participants divide into 2 groups, choose a black or a white side. In each group they divide the roles, who will be the leader, who will be which piece. Then they draw their figures on pieces of paper and pin them on, or e.g. for the king they cut a crown out of paper. Then the games begin. The leader has the main say and moves the pieces, but can also consult the pieces. The leader has 30 seconds for each move of a piece. |
