Chess is and will always be the classic strategy board game, but for people looking for something new and even more challenging there's Armis. The goal of Armis is to capture the opponents Flag using your President, Vice President, Army, Submarine, Aircraft Carrier and the like but what makes it more interesting than a typical Military type board game is that it has a mix of reality. You also have Religion, Media and even a Child piece.

Another thing that makes this game more interesting and challenging is that you set up the pieces the way you want to set them up (except for the flag and the reserves) so your strategic planning starts before the game even begins. There are over a mi llion ways to set up your pieces so it won't boring or routine any time soon.

Each of the pieces have their own movements. Some rely on other pieces to be able to move and also depend their lives on other pieces. The vice president for example takes over the Presidency in the event of an assassination; if you capture the opponents child you loose your diplomat and religion; activating your nuke also sacrifices your diplomat and religion and if there is no president the flag is immobilized.

Armis really gives a new twist to strategy games and gives players a different challenge every time they play, time for the new war to begin!
