Polyhedron Chess is played within a structure composed of two 6x6, two 8x8 and one 10x10 playing field. The 10x10 field is centered with each 8x8 field above and below, followed by the 6x6 field. Each player has a force of 74 pieces.
 
ARCHBISHOP[A] slides diagonal or triagonal.
BISHOP[B] slides diagonal.
DRAGON[D] slides orthogonal or triagonal.
FAVOURITE[F] slides orthogonal or diagonal.
GARGOYLE[G] steps one or leaps to the next orthgonal, diagonal or triagonal cell.
HIPPOGRIFF[H] leaps to the opposite corner of a 2x2x3 area.
KING[K] steps one orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal cell.
KNIGHT[N] leaps to the opposite corner of a 1x2x3 area.
PAWN[P] steps without capturing one forward orthogonal cell, captures to any one forward diagonal or triagonal cell and promotes, upon reaching the farthest rank of a level, to a previously captured piece. In Polyhedron Chess, the Pawn is allowed to make an initial two step move, if both cells are vacant. The en passant rule applies, such captures occur diagonally and triagonally.
QUEEN[Q] slides orthogonal, diagonal or triagonal.
ROOK[R] slides orthogonal.
SPACE KNIGHT[S] leaps to the opposite corner of a 1x2x3, 2x2x3 or 2x3x3 area.
UNICORN[U] slides triagonal. Upon perfoming a capture, it may promote to a previously captured piece.
WYVERN[W] leaps to the opposite corner of a 2x3x3 area.
 
Some area of leaps may contain voids. Such leaps are legal as long as the destination cell is within the playing field.
 
The game is won by checkmating the opponent King.
