The Panjuego, etymologically means the total game so that it is a game
that contains everything in itself
The Panajuego uses
a board with different colored and
engraved chess pieces. In this game the objective is not the death of the enemy
but the creation: by means of the movements of the pieces, you can create
musical and poetic compositions or solve mathematical problems.
The
pieces are marked with consonants (minus the pawns that are numbers) and the
squares of the board with vowels. In this way, each movement of the board
produces different words.
Each
piece of the game in turn represents a planet, thus, each position refers to
possible ephemeris or avatars in history.
The Panjuego chess by Xul has 13 x 13 squares (and not 8 x 8 like the conventional one) that represent the stars and constellations. Instead of 16 pieces, each player has 30, one of which they can use both interchangeably.
The game begins with the empty board and the pieces are not eaten, but are caught and become their own.
But what we like most about him is that no one loses and everyone wins:
definitely the game we all want to play !
