## Description

Not just chess. Fog of war, piece economy, and 63 missions inspired by the Cold War era. For fans of strategy games and chess.

The board is set. But half of it is hidden.

Cold War Chess takes the strategy of chess and throws it into the fog of war. The enemy's back two rows are concealed until your pieces are close enough to see them. You don't know what's coming. Neither does your opponent.

Before the first move, you build your army. Spend your resources, place your pieces where you choose, keep your intentions secret. Misdirection is a weapon. Sometimes fewer pieces are more powerful.

This isn't checkmate chess. Reduce the enemy to a lone king and the war is over. Any piece — including your own king — can walk into danger without knowing it. The Cold War plays by different rules.

PICK YOUR SIDE
USA. USSR. The Alliance. Iron Curtain. Third Way. Dead Hand. Six factions, each with distinct resource budgets and initiative traits. Your faction shapes how you fight before a single piece moves.

63 STRATEGIC MISSIONS
Berlin. Cuba. The Pacific. Southeast Asia. Central Asia. Play through fictional flashpoints across a full story campaign inspired by the Cold War era.

FOG OF WAR
Scout your enemy. Find, fix, and finish their king. The fog lifts only when you're close enough to act.

BUILD YOUR ARMY
No fixed positions. Spend your budget. Set your trap. Surprise them before the opening move.

Start free. Berlin is on us. Unlock the full Cold War when you're ready.

Cold War Chess is inspired by historical events. Characters, factions, and dramatized scenarios are fictional. The game does not represent the views of any government, organization, or individual.
