An Elaborate History of Chess

About the game

A closer look.

Build your Kingdom by levelling up and promoting your pieces, all while exploring the history of the popular board game, chess. Start with one lowly pawn to begin building your village, and work your way up to an entire Kingdom. Keep your farms running like clockwork to feed your pieces and see how far you can spread your influence. The best rewards come from devious turn-based dungeons. Prepare an adventuring party ready to face the horrors and puzzles that lie in wait. You'll need to show your mastery of chess strategy to fight enemies and conquer the puzzles that await to uncover a host of glittering treasures. You might even recruit some brand new pieces to add to your Kingdom! Monsters come at night, ready to unseat you from the throne of power. You'll face hordes of rats, golems, and more, all of which want to checkmate your best pieces. You'll need to build your defences, set up your supply chains, and of course, protect your King! Balance defensive with offensive as you expand your Kingdom to the four corners of an expansive map filled with hidden secrets and surprises. Your greatest challenges lie in fiendish bosses which guard relics of unlimited ancient power. Each boss guards a relic which promises to upgrade each of your pieces to whole new levels of strength! Do you have what it takes to become grandmaster of all you see, or will you find your best gambits just don't pay off?
