SteamAbout ChessFinity
ChessFinity
ChessFinity is a collection of chess variants built for 3D boards and experimental rulesets — from classic 3D chess to weird new layouts, strange pieces, and mini-games.
Pick a preset and play immediately, or dive into Mana Chess, a deckbuilding mode where your pieces come from a deck and you spend mana to deploy them.
•
Mana Chess deckbuilding (pieces as cards + mana to deploy)
•
3D chess variants on unusual boards (including classic variants)
•
Strange new pieces and wild matchups
•
Mini-games: puzzles + routing/touring challenges + chaotic FFA modes
•
Play solo vs AI, hot-seat, and multiplayer (still improving)
Mana Chess: deckbuilding meets chess
In Mana Chess, you don’t start with a fixed army — you build a deck of pieces and deploy them using mana. It creates a very different type of chess: more tactical surprises, more comeback potential, and a lot more variety between games.
Mana highlights:
•
Choose from mana presets (single level or multiple levels, with or without walls)
•
Build a deck that includes powerful new pieces
•
Place pieces by spending mana and play with configurable limits (including moves per turn — up to 3 in Mana)
•
Set king placement and deployment zones for custom Mana scenarios
3D chess variants & weird boards
ChessFinity includes curated 3D presets and variants — some well-known, some deliberately strange.

Examples you’ll find inside:
•
Classic 3D variants like Raumschach
•
New variants and experimental boards (small boards, long boards, boards with holes, “bridge” layouts, walled layouts)
•
Scenario-style rulesets (for example: king with only pawns, king with only bishops, asymmetric matchups like dragon vs knights)
Strange new pieces
Beyond standard chess pieces, ChessFinity includes new piece types designed to work with multi-level boards and variant rulesets — creating threats and tactics you won’t see in normal chess.
Mini-games & challenges
Want something faster, weirder, or more puzzle-like than a full match?
•
3D chess puzzles
•
Routing & touring challenges
•
Chaotic FFA modes — including rule sets where the board can “rot” (disappear) as players move
Play modes (and a quick note on multiplayer)
•
Solo vs yourself or AI
•
3+ players options (including team formats like 2v2)
•
Online multiplayer is available, but it’s still being improved — if you want the smoothest experience right now, solo vs AI / hot-seat is the best starting point.
Custom games (limited, single-player focused)
ChessFinity includes custom setup tools, with limits (and currently focused on solo play).
What you can customise:
•
Board shape & size
•
Choose mode: Modded Chess or Mana Chess
•
Piece placement for Modded Chess
•
King placement + deployment zones for Mana Chess
•
Number of players
•

Check piece movement patterns and threatened positions

Switch between 2D and 3D views
