Hi! Over at BGG I've posted a description of how to play the (supposedly) chess-like card game Mate as an abstract strategy board game. I'll link to it here in case some of you find it interesting.

(This is an exact copy of a thread I started at rec.games.abstract. I thought you guys might be interested too.)
