About this game

🎲 ALMOST CHESS 🎲

It's chess... but not quite as you remember it. Every game starts with a completely randomized board layout (except the kings, they're not completely lost). Whether you're a grandmaster or a beginner, everyone starts with the same advantage: pure confusion!

Features:
• Single Player: Challenge our AI that's learning to adapt just like you
• Two Player: Share the chaos with a friend
• Daily Challenge: A new puzzling position every day for everyone worldwide
• Valid Move Highlights: We're not completely heartless
• ELO Rating System: Climb the ranks in this bizarre version of chess

Perfect for:
• Chess players looking for a fresh challenge
• Casual gamers who want the strategy without the memorization
• Anyone who's ever thought "regular chess is too predictable"

No opening theory. No memorized patterns. Just pure tactical thinking and adaptability. Can you master Almost Chess?

Free to play. In single-player games, you can optionally watch a rewarded ad to earn an extra undo. The Remove Ads purchase unlocks unlimited undos and hides rewarded-ad prompts.

Download now and discover how good you are at chess when nobody knows what they're doing!
