General Characteristics of
Other ways of winning are: arrive with the
leader piece at The Temple of the Moon, reach The
Temple of the Sun or by mean of Mak Chahal (see
rules).
Each and every piece that makes up a team (5)
can move throughout the board with the exception of
the area named The Forbidden Zone which can only
be traversed by the Leader piece (L).
With the rule allowing for three moves per turn
a larger variety of options develop during a game.
Maya Chess “The Game of the Gods” is played
on a game board comprised of two equal lateral triangles
that are joined at their bases forming a rhombus. The
game depicts a battle between to opposing Maya Chess
adversaries.
Together with the condition that the playing
pieces not be retired from the board, movement options
on the board increase to more than a 150,000 million in
any three-move turn.
The geometric forms of each piece have a very
specific function: obstruct with their volume (angles,
vertices) the opponent due to their three-dimensional
form.
On the board, two players face each other with
five playing pieces each, four of the pieces protect the
fifth piece called Leader (L). Each side obstructs its
opponents pieces to avoid allowing your opponent to
capture your Leader piece (L) which marks an end to
the game.

The Leader Playing Piece
The Leader (L)
The Leader (L) is the most important playing
piece in the game since it’s capture is the basis of the
game; if any of the opponents playing pieces occupies
the same triangle as the Leader (L) during a turn then
there’s is the victory.

You can also lose if the Leader piece (L) is able
to reach your opponents Temple of The Sun, Temple
of The Moon or by means of Mak Chahal.
It’s Shape
In the Maya language, the expression K’Atún
signifies for always or eternally and this expression is
spoken when your opponent has no possibility of escaping a lethal attack.

The Leader (L) Movements
The Leader (L) is the only piece that slides
freely throughout the board, the other 4 pieces must
rotate over a leading edge.
The Leader (L) can penetrate his own Forbidden Zone while the other four playing pieces cannot.
The Leader (L) always slides across the board
on it’s one plane while the other four must rotate from
one adjacent plane to the next. (pivoting from one plane
to the next adjacent plane)
strategy
1. -Defensive. - The strategy of the Leader (L)
is defensive in nature, since it should never be trapped
by its opponent which would cause the immediate loss
of the game.
• It is recommended that the Leader (L) remain
close to the Guardian (G). It would be preferable to
remove the Leader (L) from its forbidden zone as early
as the opportunity presents itself, and in the company
of its defenders open up a flank or space in the central
area of the game board that would permit movement
with less risk.
• It may occur that the Leader (L) is the only
playing piece available to obstruct the forward movement of the opposing Leader (L) targeting either the
Temple of the Moon or the Temple of the Sun (rule
3).
2.-Offensive.-The offensive strategy of the
Leader (L) is to move its defending playing pieces the
Captain (C), Guardian
(G), Attacker (A), and Defender (D) to obstruct their
opponents in their attempt
to reach the Temple of the
Moon or the Temple of
the Sun, that is to say, not
to try to trap the opponents
Leader (L) but rather to
reach their secondary objective, the temples.

Precautions: Unless
the Defender (D) has ample
space to move, avoid the game
board orders since it can
be nullified easily under
those conditions.
2.Offensive. -The
offensive play that can be used
with the Defender (D) is to place
it in the opponents mid field so that
it can move with ease laterally to obstruct an opponent.

strategY
1. -Defensive. -The Attacker (A)
can protect its Leader (L) from its
opponents and can be a decisive factor in an option to capture the opposing
Leader (L). In relation to its defensive
functions the following is
suggested:
• Place the Attacker (A) in its own
mid field (between the Forbidden
Zone and the Temple of the Moon)
in the beginning of the game, while you
determine your opponents strategy.
• Use the Captain (C) as support
on either flank (always in mid field).
• The Attacker (A) is the
ideal choice to obstruct the opponents Defender (D) when it intends
to clear the way for its Leader (L)
to reach the Temple of the Moon.
Precautions: Avoid the edges
of the game board in areas saturated with players where
your piece can easily be nullified.
2. - Offensive. - The Attacker (A), because
on its close reach to be Defender (D), can chase the
Leader (L) to its mid field.
Offensive suggestion: Do not move your Attacker (A) much beyond mid field unless the field is
open and you have the support of the Captain (C) in
any attempt to capture the opposing Leader (L)

The movement of the Captain (C) is done by
pivoting from one plane (facet) over its edge to the next
adjacent plane. This movement is similar in all playing
pieces except for the Leader (L).
strategY
1. -Defensive- The Captain (C), has at its
disposal a large number of defensive options such as:
• Protect the Temple of the Moon, placing
itself in any of the triangles that surround it.
• Pressure the opposing Leader (L) so that the
Attacker (A) or Defender (D) could capture it.
Precautions: Prevent the opposing Defender
(D) from obstruction since this would limit advancement. The Defender (D) playing pieces are difficult to
evade due to their size.
2. - Offensive. - The offensive capacity of
the Captain (C) is limited to applying pressure to the
opposing Leader (L), since it is rather simple for their
opposing pieces to obstruct its movement, in particular
the Defender (D) which once isolated from the rest of
the playing pieces, Guardian (G) and Defender (D),
present little danger to the other side.
Offensive suggestions: In the case that an
offensive is mounted, make sure that you can capture
the opposing Leader (L) using the Attacker (A) (as an
example) or you run the
risk of isolating the Captain (C) placing it at the
mercy of its opponents.

strategy it will be necessary to remove the Leader (L)
from its Forbidden Zone.
• Select a flank (always protecting the Leader
