Short description

Customise your board with a host of new pieces. Start with an aggressive forward assault, or perhaps a defensive fortress designed to weather the storm. Will you outwit, outmanoeuvre, or out-explode your way to victory?

Long description

Chessemble is chess with deckbuilding and dragons. Before each match you build your own formation from a growing roster of 20+ new pieces, within a 100-point budget, and take it into battle against the AI, handcrafted challenges or other players online.

The pieces break the rules on purpose. The Dragon burns all three squares in front of it, friendly pieces included. The Fusefort explodes when it captures or is captured, taking out its neighbours and whoever touched it. The Assassin steps into the shadow behind any enemy piece, and Schrödinger’s Cat moves like a rook or a bishop depending on whether it is, at that moment, alive.

There is no checkmate: you win by taking the enemy King, by any means available.
