I purchased this item at an estate sale.

I honestly do not know if it is "new" or "used".

The plastic casing has some cracks, and one corner is broken off.

* All the dice are included, along with 2 inside "pamphlets," which appear to be in nice condition.

* 1 pamphlet appears to be playing instructions.

* I believe the other is just an advertisement for other available games.

BACK OF THE GAME READS:

From the folks who brought you Knightmare Chess comes Proteus -

"A dice game that plays a little like chess and a lot like nothing you've ever seen before!

Played on a standard chess board, (Not included) each side gets 8 dice, with a different piece on each face. You start with 8 pawns, but each turn, you get to change one of your dice to a more powerful piece. But as your pieces get more powerful, they become worth more points to your opponent! The game is easy to learn, but mastering the intricate strategies will prove much harder."
