Jersi (English)
Overview
Jersi is a kind of chess game that relies on stacks and on the rock-paper-scissors cycle. The game has been balanced with special pieces : king, fools, wise men and mountains. The goal is to cross the board with one's own king, which is always put back in play when captured. Stack of two pieces can be created and uncreated. Stack and single piece can capture each other.
For a taste of the game, watch this video of a fictional play.
