Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I played four player chess with some friends (three to be exact) yesterday. But it was just like normal chess except we all had our own set of pieces.

I won.

That is all.

DominicCobb, since the Nimmar thread probably wasn't the ideal place for your post, maybe this one would suit better. :)

I played the following version once before (sad that I only played it once, since I own it).  I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same game you played.

While this has a similar feel to chess, since every man is for himself, it's a political game more than a tactical game.  I was most certainly the strongest player at the table when I played my friends.  Yet I came in 2nd or 3rd because I was winning early in the game and was clearly the biggest threat.  But I congratulate you on your victory and encourage you to play again.  Try your negotiation skills.  That's actually an aspect of multiplayer games I enjoy more than the tactical aspects!  It's fun to play weak and ultimately win!
