Alba & Ater

Alba & Ater replica set.

Alba & Ater (Latin for "White" and "Black", respectively) is a chess-like board game seen in Kingdom Hearts III. Xehanort and Eraqus would often play this game in their youth.

Story

Between Kingdom Hearts Dark Road and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

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.
