Mess

Description
In the game you choose to take sides with either Darktan(black) or Professor Shroomsky and Triskelle(white). Each side has 16 pieces representing different charictars, however the pieces have slowly become identical. The game is played on an 8x8, black and white checkered diamond shaped board.

History
It started out as a temporal mix-up several hundred years ago, where an early Time Ninja was temorerally transported into the far future. He witnessed the beginning of the Great Darktonian Pie War, and on his return wrote a manuscript summerising the two sides. He died from complications resulting from the mix-up, and the manuscript was misenterpreted as instructions for a board game. His will asked that the manuscript (titled 'Mess) be widely distributed, to try and prevent the war, but the Ninjas distributed the game (named 'Mess') instead. Over time, the it evolved into an interesting board game in it's own right.

Symbols
The symbols and pieces in Mess bear little or no resemblance to the object they origionally reperesented due to the difficulty in describing modern technology several hundred years befor it was invented. The standard symbols are as follows:
