About this game

Traditional mode: Always Ready
Classic Dark Chess — every move is a real test.

Tactical Mode: Rewrite the Board
Each player picks 3 tactical cards and plays them at the right moment:
• Insight — Reveal all hidden pieces for 3 seconds
• Recruit — Revive a piece that was just captured
• Shield — Block the next attack on one of your pieces
• Swap — Secretly exchange two of your own pieces
• Blockade — Lock down a cell for 4 turns
• Combo — Take two actions in a single turn
• Undo — Roll back the last two moves

Special Mode: Blind Capture and Chain Capture
Turn on blind capture to challenge hidden pieces directly, and chain capture to keep attacking with the same piece after a successful capture.

Play Anytime
AI opponent in 3 levels of difficulty, or local 2-player mode. Fully offline.

Immersive Board Art
Multiple hand-crafted board themes — from lakeside tranquility to snow-covered valleys.
Theme Pass unlocks them all.
