King's Hand

King's Hand is a 1v1 chess game with cards that give you abilities to help defeat your opponent's king. Each match, you receive a randomly generated card of common, epic or mythic rarity; rarer cards have stronger abilities. There is no checkmate or stalemate: play continues until one king dies, and the winner claims the other player's kingdom.

Cards and exchanges

The game contains 12 unique cards with abilities for offense or defense. You can also exchange a number of pawns for a single higher-rarity piece, such as three pawns for a bishop. Exchanges are available at any time.

Game modes

Quick Match pairs you with a random opponent. In Friendly Match, you play against a friend.
