Alba & Ater (アルバ&アーテル Aruba & Āteru?) (Latin for "White" and "Black", respectively) is a chess-like board game seen in Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road.[1] Xehanort and Eraqus would often play this game in their youth.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]

Between Kingdom Hearts Dark Road and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

One day in Scala ad Caelum, Xehanort questions Eraqus about his knowledge of the Keyblade War and the "Lost Masters" during a game of Alba & Ater. After the game, the two offer each other their support and begin a new game with Xehanort's new seven dark pieces and Eraqus placing a white piece on the board.

Pieces[edit]

The main board that Xehanort and Eraqus play on has 32 pieces: 16 silver and white pieces, and 16 gold and black pieces. Each piece is adorned with a symbol on top and named after a character in the Kingdom Hearts series or a Keyblade. Eraqus introduces a variant of the game with seven new black and gold pieces against one of the existing silver and white pieces.
