Laq'dumar

Laq'dumar[lok-doo-mahr], or The Conqueror's Shadow, is a game played both with cards and a standard, hexagonal board. It is set up very similarly to an ordinary game of chess, with the exception that almost every piece on the board is a pawn save for one, the king piece, which can be set anywhere on the board within the player's domain(clearly labeled in the player's color). At the center of the board are three decks of cards*, one of which contains heroes, another equipment, and another terrain effects. Each player starts with a set number of hero and equipment cards, drawing one per turn so that they have a minimum of three cards at all times, and can apply the effects of these cards to a piece of their choosing at the beginning of their turn. Each turn the player may move a piece of their choosing(until a hero card is applied a piece can only move one hexagonal space), drawing a terrain card at the end of their movement. The effects of this terrain card are applied to that space for the rest of the game unless changed by a hero or equipment ability that can alter terrain.
More on cards, by type-- Hero Cards: Each hero card has two defining attributes--an attack value and a health value, written at the bottom of the card as x(attack)/y(health). A hero can do up to its attack value in damage to another hero's health, or can choose to do less damage to satisfy the conditions of certain equipment card. Equipment Cards: Equipment cards are applied on top of hero cards, adding their effects to the hero's own. Only one piece of equipment can be applied to any one hero at once, unless otherwise specified by either the hero card or the equipment card.
*There are less standardized(though wildly more popular) versions of Laq'dumar in which the players bring their own decks of cards which are for their personal use rather than sharing the same deck. In this case, the card pool is considerably lessened as every card is mixed into a single deck for individual use.
