## Description

Block Chess turns the familiar block puzzle into a tactical, turn-based duel.<br><br>Take turns placing pieces on a shared 8×8 board. Complete rows and columns to clear them, build combos, and race your opponent to the target score. Every move matters: the piece you place can open the board for you—or hand your opponent the perfect setup.<br><br>CLIMB THE RANKS<br>Battle an increasingly clever bot, earn stars for every win, and rise from Bronze all the way to Legend. The competition gets tougher as your rank grows.<br><br>PLAY WITH FRIENDS<br>Challenge nearby players over local Wi-Fi. Pick a nickname, find friends on the same network, and settle the match in a live head-to-head game.<br><br>TURN A BAD HAND AROUND<br>When a piece has nowhere to fit, it becomes a Destroyer. Drop it onto occupied cells to break blocks, create space, and rescue a crowded board.<br><br>MASTER COMBOS AND REWARDS<br>Clear multiple lines at once or keep a clearing streak alive for bigger scores. Strong victories build gems that can protect your hard-earned stars from a future loss.<br><br>FEATURES<br>• Turn-based block puzzle battles<br>• Ranked solo play with seven bot difficulty levels<br>• Local Wi-Fi multiplayer<br>• Line clears, multi-line bonuses, and combo chains<br>• Destroyer pieces that prevent dead-end boards<br>• Bronze-to-Legend star progression<br>• Save and continue an unfinished match<br><br>Plan your placement, control the board, and climb to Legend.
