Chessemble

Chessemble combines chess with deckbuilding and dragons. You assemble an army from a growing roster of new pieces, design the board they fight on and take your creations into ranked play. A budget lets you choose between a horde of inexpensive pawns and costly pieces with more power.

Pieces and abilities

The game has more than 20 unique pieces, with more on the way. Each brings different abilities to the board:

• Dragon: breathes fire, destroying the three pieces in front of it, including your own.
• Fusefort: explodes when it captures or is captured, wiping out everything on its square and either side.
• Spearman: can sidestep or lunge to attack two squares ahead.
• Warden: moves like a castle but can jump, though it can reach only two squares.
• Cracked Pawn: costs less and is weaker, leaving more of your budget for stronger pieces.

Custom boards

You can craft boards with new layouts and shape them around your strategy. Set up an aggressive forward assault or build a fortress designed to weather the storm.

Challenges and opponents

Handcrafted challenges let you test your creations. You can also play against AI opponents or take on other players online, with ranked play and leaderboards to track your climb.
