Another Chess Game

Build an army. Protect your King. March across an endless chessboard as the Void devours the squares behind you. Teach your pieces moves no chess set allows.

Your King walks up a corridor of chess five files wide, and it never ends. One move a turn. The enemy comes down to meet you and shows you its next move (mostly). Behind you, the Void eats the board a rank at a time. Stand still and it catches up.

BUILD AN ARMY Pieces beside your King march with him. Recruit Pawns, Knights, Bishops and Rooks at the Camp, keep them alive, and every one that makes it through a region becomes a Veteran with a trait of its own.

BREAK THE RULES Every capture pays experience to that kind of piece. Level up your Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Rooks or your King and pick a blessing that changes how all of them fight. Pawns that capture straight ahead. Knights that strike and ride home. Rooks that run through a whole line of enemies. Find the right few and a single move becomes a chain of captures.

KEEP MOVING Every region ends at a Gate. Capture its guardian to pass, rest at the Camp, spend your gold, and walk into the next region and whatever curse it carries. Win the run, then keep descending to see how deep you go.

PROTECT YOUR KING Lose him and the run is over.
