CONFUSION is a 2-player strategy board game. The object of the game is similar to that of chess, to capture the opposing king but the gameplay is significantly different.
At the start of the game, only the 2 kings are on the board. Additional pieces may be placed anywhere on the player's half of the board. The board itself consists of a 12x12 grid of tiles. As well as plain tiles, the grid contains 10 types of special tile which affect pieces landing on them.
When the game starts, all the tiles are covered, their type is only revealed the first time a piece lands on them. The number of special tiles on the board is proportional to the difficulty level. The difficulty level represents the number of each tile in each quarter of the board, so on level 1 there are only 10 special tiles in each quarter, on level 3 there are 30 in each quarter.
The game ends when one of the kings is either taken by an opposing piece, or destroyed by landing on a Death, Convert or Mutate tile.
