This game was released in Fall 2004, and has generated great enthusiasm among the gamers who actually have had a chance to play it.

Gameplay
====Unlike most collectible games, Navia Dratp is entirely non-random, like chess. It is actually most closely related to japanese chess, Shogi, and one variant in particular, Tori Shogi. But unlike chess, which has a small number of fixed pieces, Navia Dratp allows the player to select 7 pieces from his pool at the beginning of the game (pawns are fixed).====

====Each piece can also be "promoted", and has a unique "special power". But this is only allowed after the player has accumulated the necessary amount of power, thus adding an element of resource management and manipulation.====

====All these elements allow for great, interesting variation in gameplay. In order to keep the learning curve fairly low, all the relevant information is included on each miniature, and a separate corresponding card.====

Collectability
====Like most collectible games, each player needs a fixed Starter set (2 variations are available) and can then buy random boosters. However, unlike most collectible games, the amount of different miniatures is very small, and they are easy to collect. Only the entirely optional rare pre-painted miniatures are harder to get, but have little impact on gameplay (especially outside of sanctioned tournaments). ====
