"Board of the Kings: A Chess RPG" is a strategic role-playing game based in the original thousand-year classic, Chess.

You are a king in the feuding lands of Caturess, a 64 square-tile area in continuous war. Your goal, through alliances and enemies, is to become the sole ruler of the land, and to conquer your sworn rival at the opposite end of the board.

  • Recruit and train a massive army of pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, and queens.
  • Level-up various recruits, giving them powers beyond the confines of the original board game, perhaps beyond the confines of Caturess itself!
  • Face off against seven power-hungry, equally pure-bred, and likely insane opponents who also rule over the land.

All this and more in "Board of the Kings"!

This game is early in development!

The team recently became aware of a slow thinking issue with our Chess AI on web. If you experience any severe delays per turn when playing the web version, try our desktop build instead.

We're working on a longer term fix, but it will take time.
