Heraldic Extinction Chess

There are many other games that can be played with a heraldic set. Especially these involve cards, dice, and so forth. Much of the fun seems to be experimenting with friends about the rules, so I have not made any applets.

You can obtain a set from the game's inventor, Modest Solans, in Spain. Click here for more information, or here for the rulebook.

These are simple illustrations rather than strong opponents.
