Chess of the Wizards

Real chess, but the wizards are playing too. Chess of the Wizards is fantasy chess against the computer, offline and with no ads.

Choose your side: the Bright Circle of good wizards or the Shadow Guild of evil ones. Every wizard brings three spells and a hidden trap. Bruno Cloudburst stuns with a thunderclap, Granny Hilda grows bramble hedges, Baron Basil Grimgaze burns with his evil eye. Play wisely, gather mana and cast your spells at the right moment.

WHAT AWAITS YOU • Fantasy chess with 16 wizards: eight good and eight evil, one for each play style, and every one has a rival on the other side • 48 spells and 16 traps make every game different • Complete chess rules including castling, en passant and promotion • Three difficulty levels: Beginner, Normal and Master. If you like, the board shows your possible moves. • Vain, quirky wizards with almost 700 quips • Lovingly drawn storybook art with a home for every wizard • 33 achievements, also in Game Center, and ranks from Apprentice to Grandmaster • Replay every game move by move • For iPhone and iPad • Offline chess: no account, no ads, no internet connection required

HOW IT WORKS Before the first move you hide a trap on the board. Every move and every capture earns you mana. Spend it on spells instead of moving. The good wizards move first, so the evil ones start with some mana. The king is immune: in the end, checkmate always decides.

UNLOCK WIZARDS Bruno and Baron Basil are free to play right away. All the others play against you from the start. Defeat a wizard three times and they play for you from then on. If you would rather not wait, a one time purchase unlocks all 16 at once.

WHO IS IT FOR? For everyone who enjoys playing chess against the computer and wants to try a new chess variant. If you know the rules of chess, you can start right away. The in-game guide explains mana, spells and traps. A board game for a quick break and a strategy game for long evenings.

On your home screen the game is simply called Spell Chess.
