Buy Chess of Fortune PC key

Chess of Fortune is a variant of chess played with standard chess pieces on half of a standard chessboard. It combines revised movement and capture rules with randomness: each player's pieces begin hidden in anonymous boxes assigned randomly across the board. The rules are simpler and less complex than standard chess, making for quicker, more casual games that still call for strategic choices.

How to play

Players take turns. On a turn, you can open a box to free one of your pieces or move a piece you have already freed. A piece can move one square at a time to a vertically or horizontally adjacent square; diagonal movement and standard chess piece moves do not apply. You can capture an opponent's piece only when the rules allow it. A player wins when their opponent has lost all their pieces.

Capturing pieces

Pieces are ranked from lowest to highest: pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen and king. A piece can capture an opponent's piece of equal or lower rank. For example, rooks can capture rooks and pawns, while bishops can also capture knights; neither can capture pieces ranked above them. Kings cannot capture pawns, and pawns are the only pieces that can capture kings.

Game modes

You can play against the AI in single-player mode or play locally with another player. The game also includes a tutorial, piece color customization, and a basic scoring and level progression system.
