Equipment:

• 2 sets of chess pieces (32 white pieces and 32 black pieces)
• A lot of black and white stones (e.g. from a Go set)
• 2 screens of some sort (big enough to hide 5 chess pieces)

Each player creates a 'secret' by secretly selecting 5 black chess pieces from one complete chess set and placing these behind his screen.

During the game both players will build 'triangles' which are used to score points at the end of game.

Additionally both players may try to guess their opponent's secret and score points for correct guesses and losing points for wrong guesses.

The object of the game is to score the most points.
