Conquest is a chess like strategy game created and published by Donald Benge. First published in 1972 with cardboard pieces, it evolved to attractive plastic pieces and a deluxe set in pewter plated in various metals including gold. The game is based on action allowance for point to point movement and capture, with an innovative recapture interspersed. Pieces may mount each other such as a soldier mounting a chariot, and both boarding a ship. The pieces also include elephants and knights. Starting with a two player version, a four player board was developed which can be played as a free for all, or as a partnership effort.

Since 1988 we worked with Donald on Conquest, and its variant Conquest Plus.  In the early 2000's, we worked with him on the production of Grand Conquest and looked forward to many more years of cooperation. However, in April 2007 he was tragically killed by a drunk driver driving the wrong way on the 134 freeway.


We have purchased the rights to the Conquest line and are now proud to bring a wonderful strategy game back to the market.
