As a former member of the United States Chess Federation, I admit to being a little intrigued when I saw the offer to review “Duress”. At first glance, the game looked like a cross between “Scrabble” and “Chess”. I came to learn that it was similar to “Scrabble” in looks only (what with the lettered tiles) as no spelling is actually involved. Instead, players take turns drawing a chess tile from a bag then moving one of their lettered pieces using that chess piece’s move rules. The goal? Move your colored tiles (A-P) onto the yellow goal letters in the middle of the board before your opponent does. Special thanks to the folks at Doctor Rocket, LLC. for providing me with a press copy for review purposes.
