Maya Chess, the Ball Game !

The Boardgame and the Players

The Game Board is formed by two opposite triangles at its base and forms a rhombus with 128 triangles 64 and 64 opposite in color and has two Temples of the Sun and two Temples of the Moon , as well as a restricted area called Prohibited Zone for the players of each team.
The four players Fire, Air, Eaarth and Water , must take -The Ball to the Temple of the Moon or to the Temple of the Sun of the opposing team, protecting it with their bodies so that it is not crushed by the opposing team's players.


Four Players Who
rotate through their edges

All the Players - Captain, Guardian, Attacker and Defense - move in the same way, using their edges as rotation axes to move to the next face. Covering with their bodies the Ball that tries to pass through the free spaces to the opposing Temple of the Moon or Temple of the Sun

The Leader advances from triangle to triangle by the sides, NEVER by the vertexes or points. As you can see the object of the game is to catch the ball before it can enter any of the Temples. .

A Note on Two Opposing Triangles

Are the representation of the God Tepeu.
Two opposing triangles that shape the board of the Maya® Chess "The Game of the Gods" and when intersecting form a six-pointed star. Two tetrahedra (Player -Captain) create the Tetrahedral Star.
is simply the representation of the one who puts order in the Universe, the God Tepeu, represented by the Mayas with the number 6, or 3 + 3, with a series of interlaced triangles that indicated that which is above is equal to that which is below, thesis and antithesis.
