About the Game

It's Not Chess. It's Better!

To celebrate selling 50,000+ physical sets, the award-winning Australian board game, Chessplus, now gets a video game.

More Possibilities. More Strategies. More Blunders.

• Move as either piece: Move two pieces onto the same square using traditional chess moves to create powerful hybrids such as the "Biook", Bishop + Rook, and move as a combined piece.

• Split pieces strategically: Careful! You'll lose both your Queen + Knight if your "Quight" is captured, split them again for strategic positioning to capture your opponent's King.

• Endless Strategies: Exponentially more moves than chess, open by rocketing your Rook + Pawn as a "Roawn" across the board for a quick promotion to make an extra Queen.

Deckbuilder Roguelike.

• Master Variants: Battle progressively harder AI in different variants such as Fog of War and King of the Hill before taking on a Grandmaster boss battle. 

• Unleash game-changing abilities: Craft your deck with ability cards such as "Copy Cat" to copy the last piece you captured or "Blunder" to take a turn for the opposition.

• Choices Matter: Every run is different. Every piece you sacrifice, reward you choose or minigame you win will dramatically change the outcome of your run.

Cross-platform Online Multiplayer.

• Grind your ELO: Outwit opponents in ranked play and become the world's first Chessplus Grandmaster.

• Compete in whacky variants: Play against your friends in custom variants such as King of the Hill with the Roguelike ability cards enabled for drafting.

• Practice makes perfect: Practice your openings against our custom Chessplus engine and review your past games to see where you blundered.
