About Bosworth

Bosworth is essentially a chess variant for up to 4 players. The pieces are the same as chess (8 pawns, 2 knights, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, a king, and a queen), but they are represented as disks so that they can be drawn randomly from a pile. Players begin the game with 4 pawns in their edge of the board or "field camps" and four pieces from their draw pile as their hand.
