About this game

What if chess had evolved?
Welcome to C.A.T.E. (Trader Chess), a revolutionary strategy game built on the foundation of chess but transformed by the powerful Trader piece.
Mount allies, rescue captured units, create powerful combinations, and battle across a larger 10×10 battlefield where every move creates new possibilities.

MEET THE TRADER The Trader is a unique piece with the unprecedented ability to "Mount" and "Ride" friendly pieces! Let a Trader hitch a ride on a Knight, Bishop, or Rook to rapidly cross the board, detach for surprise attacks, or even rescue captured allies. When a Trader mounts your King, it becomes Empowered, gaining devastating new attack patterns. The tactical possibilities are endless!
