Smess

About this game

Like Chess, this is a turn-based game in which you move one piece per turn on a checkered board. But unlike Chess, the Smess board has arrows on every space, and these arrows indicate which directions a piece may move. The objective is to capture the opponent's Brain!

Ratings and reviews

This game is very nostalgic for me; I used to play it, in the late 60s - early 70s, with one of my best childhood friends, Dennis "the Menace" Phelps, who owned the only hard copy of this game I've ever seen. Years later, I saw a version of it, called something like "Knights & Squires," on store shelves. Dennis' version is the only one I had ever seen with Brains, Ninnies, and Numbskulls, until I found this softcopy version. Unfortunately, it has no sound effects!

The animated ads are too annoying, and there is no option to get rid of them. I'm using a tablet, and the board appears fuzzy and low resolution. Having designed the board, I know it can look better.

Just like I remember from when I was a kid! Can you work on getting a tablet version cause the board was all squished up on side of the screen but still 5 stars!
