 K'trinzhai is a board game played on a triangle-tiled playing board, with three players. The rules are closely related to k'tinza, a chess-like game, aside from the shift from two- to three-player competition. In a three-way game, a new element is added, as k'trinzhai champions have to rely to some degree on psychology, as it is often that the apparently more powerful opponent is bested by an alliance of the two others before they turn on each other to finally win the game. In political circles, references to k'tinza or k'trinzhai are often made in much the same way allusions are made to chess in our own world when talking of "pawns", "check and mate", and so forth.
