Games Like CrossPieces Arena

Your deck. Your formation. Your winning move.

CrossPieces Arena is a turn-based board tactics game where you build your own deck and challenge opponents online. Choose from a variety of chess, shogi, and other pieces, then arrange your opening formation within a cost limit. Your goal is to capture the enemy Royal, the piece that serves as their king. Find the combinations that turn your plan into a winning position.

Build a formation that plays your way

Mix familiar movement patterns with unusual abilities. Start from a template deck, copy it, and make it your own. Change a piece, adjust its position, and discover a different approach to the same opponent.

Make every piece part of the plan

Special pieces bring different threats to the board. Read movement ranges, use abilities at the right moment, and keep the enemy Royal in your sights. Protect your own Royal and the allies around it as the position changes.

Compete online. Refine your deck.

Take your deck online and pit your plans against another player. Try combinations against CPU opponents, or take turns against another player on the same PC. Battle across multiple boards, refine your deck after a match, and see what one change can do.
