Glyph Chess

Glyph Chess is a strategic board game with magical fantasy elements, set in the world of Tales of Tarsylia. You command mages with distinct abilities on a board shaped by wind, fire, water and earth. Escort your Scepter to the central Source of Magic or destroy your opponent’s Scepter to win.

Pieces and abilities

The game has seven unique pieces:

• Summoner: summon an army to overwhelm your opponent.
• Illusionist: use stealth and invisibility, and shift positions at will.
• Abjurer: project a Force Field to protect allies or crush enemies.
• Necromancer: manipulate life and death by reviving corpses to serve you.
• Diviner: project a Divine Ward that suppresses magic, which is the bane of all mages.
• Evoker: pierce through the battlefield and incinerate everything.
• Scepter: the core and soul of your forces, and the key to victory.

Control the center

The Source of Magic at the board’s center is a strategic focal point. A piece occupying it gains powerful Metamagic abilities, and control of the center can tip the balance of a match.

Four-player alliances

In 2v2 Alliance Battles, the players sitting opposite each other form an alliance. Cooperation is key to victory.
