Arms Race is a chess-like abstract strategy game for two players, which uses dice instead of chess pieces.
Each of the six faces of the dice match a chess piece:
1 is the Pawn, worth 1 point
2 is the Rook, worth 3 points
3 is the Knight, worth 3 points
4 is the Bishop, worth 5 points
5 is the Queen, worth 9 points
6 is the King, worth 13 points
Pieces move and capture according to their chess counterparts, except they promote to the next number on the list when capturing.
This creates a highly dynamic and ever changing game.
