How it feels

A strategic and contemplative twist on chess where each piece has stats, making battles more tactical and less instantaneous.

What players say

Players enjoy the twist of giving chess pieces health points, which changes how offense and defense work. The AI can make strange decisions, but playing against friends is where the game shines.
