Holochex

"You come to play Jabba the Hutt to the game of holochex? Well' see how good you are at games that make you think! Ho ho ho!"

- Jabba Desilijic Tiure

Holochex was a two-player board game, somewhat similar to chess, that was played on Tatooine. Each player began the game with twelve monster-shaped pieces, and was referred to in accordance with their set of pieces' color.

The crimelord Jabba the Hutt himself was fond of this game, and he would sometimes play it with anyone in Mos Espa, or even teach how to play it. The Hutt was renown as a tough opponent and a master strategist at holochex.

Behind the scenes
Like regular chess and the game of Dejarik, holochex has been inspired by real world chess.
