Bastardo: http://digilander.iol.it/finellir/geocities/bast_eng.htm

Four Italian boys made a chess variant for four players, called Bastardo. It is a variant not to be taken too heavily, to be played by friends, probably after a few beers? Along with the rules, you find photo's of their chess set with pieces made of Mandelbrot sets, multifaced dice, marbles, and tarot cards.
