About Chess Empire
Chess Empire adds gold, recruitable units, upgrades and fog of war to familiar chess rules. You command the classic board and pieces, earning gold on each turn: 1 for moving, 2 for captures and 3 for taking down upgraded pieces. Spend it in the shop to recruit units or unlock upgrades that change how pieces play.
Gold and vision
Fog of war hides anything outside the vision range of your farthest pieces. Position your pieces to scout, gather information and attack when your opponent cannot see you. You balance spending between recruiting units and buying upgrades.
Upgrade your pieces
Upgrades give pieces different abilities:
- Promoted Pawns: attack forward as well as diagonally.
- Bishops: fire arrows to capture from range.
- Knights: strike any tile exactly two spaces away and see farther than most units.
- Rooks: hit two enemies in a line.
- Queens: attack within a one-tile radius, wiping out clusters in one strike.
