Out now

Chessemble

It's chess, but with deckbuilding and dragons.

Draft a 100-point formation of Dragons, Necromancers and exploding forts, then outwit, outmanoeuvre or out-explode your opponent.

The pieces

Pieces that break the rules

Pick a piece and watch what it does. Every scene follows the game's real rules.

The Fusefort holds the line. Black's knight fancies it.

Fusefort

15 pts
  • Moves and captures orthogonally.
  • Explosive: when captured, or when it captures, it explodes and destroys the pieces left and right of it, and whatever captured it.

Six of 20+ pieces. The rest are in the game, and the free demo has a selection.

Features

What's in the box

  • 20+ new pieces

    Spend your budget on a horde of cheap pawns, or splurge on something with wings. More are on the way.

  • Build your formation

    Fill an 8×2 board with up to 100 points of pieces. Open with a forward assault, or build a fortress to weather the storm.

  • Handcrafted challenges

    Seven themed armies, from Brutalis the Brutal to the Jester, to test your creations against.

  • Ranked and leaderboards

    Take your formation online and climb.

  • Online and AI opponents

    Test strategies against three bot difficulties, or take them online against a friend.

  • Free demo

    Try a selection of the pieces on Steam before you buy, and find out first-hand how much chess improves with explosions.
