TrickMate is real chess with one addition: a deck of 50 Tricks that bend the rules.
Swap two of your own pieces. Move a pawn twice. Bring a captured piece back from the graveyard. Your opponent can see it coming - and if they are holding a Cancel, they can stop it dead.
Nearly every Trick is restricted, so the deck rarely lands the finishing blow on its own. It buys you a tempo, an escape, a second chance. The chess still has to be good.
- Real chess underneath, fully validated on the server
- 50 Tricks across 15 types, drawn as you play them
- Play several games at once - a move a day, or a whole game in ten minutes
- Get told when it is your move, even with the app closed
- Sign in with a phone number to keep your games on every device
- Ratings, rankings, and your record against every opponent
- Nudge an opponent who is holding things up, or concede gracefully
- Free, and no ads
Signing in is optional. Your phone number is stored as a one-way hash and is used only to recognise you across your own devices.
