Dear friends! I hasten to please you. Now you can play the new color card version Waterloo without a board in a 3D format.
The using of an excessive playing cards deck dedicated to chess instead a board with chess pieces (as at Solitaire) is a lucky idea for chess variants, because this revolutionary innovation allows to change free the sizes of the already virtual board and the set of the using cards (a hand) in agree with own taste or by chance as at Fisher chess variant and so do the chess more popular and competitive contra other games.
This 8x8x2 chess card game has wide strategic and tactical possibilities but at the same time is using an extended set of the chess pieces with the traditional style of movement well known to all chess players. Cards are arranged hierarchically and harmonically at the initial positionon on two complementary sides as follows.


The complete set of the chess Waterloo have 80 cards: 40 white (20 blue and 20 red) and 40 black (20 grin and 20 yellow).


The reduced set of the chess Waterloo have 40 cards: 20 white (blue) and 20 black (yellow).

"Illusions," explained Alec, "are like mirages," and, realizing that this didn't help much, he continued: "And mirages are things that aren't really there that you can see very clearly."

The group (s) with s2 chip that reaches the last row promotes for s22 group.
3. Any group (p) with single p1 chip can move by D(1) mode.
4. Any group (p) with double p1 chip can move by JD(2) mode.
5. Any group (p) with single p2 chip can move by O(1) mode.
6. Any group (p) with double p2 chip can move by JO(2) mode.
7. Any group (p) with single p3 chip can move by D(1) or D(2) mode, with double p3 chips - by D mode.
If also with double p1 checkers then can move by JD mode.
8. Any group (p) with p1 and p3 chips can move by N(2) mode.
