About A Wizard-Chess Tournament

Chess, but with wizards

A Wizard-Chess Tournament starts as the chess you know — same board, same pieces, same opening moves. Then the spells start flying.

Pieces fight, they don't just capture

Every piece has Hit Points and Attack. Landing on an enemy starts a fight, strike hard enough and you take the square — fall short and you chip their health and bounce back. A wounded queen is still a queen. Plan around it.

There is no checkmate

Cut the King down in combat, poison him from afar, or burn him down with a well-timed spell and claim his throne.

Cast before you move

Each turn has two phases: play spell cards, then move. Nearly 60 spells buff your pieces, curse your opponent's, enchant the squares between you.

Both hands are visible: you always see what your opponent is holding.

Pick your wizard

Your wizard decides which unique spells reach your hand.

Pure player-versus-player

Hotseat — two players, one machine, the classic way
LAN — automatic discovery on your local network
Online — Steam lobbies, friend invites, and reconnect if a connection drops

Features

Optional chess clocks — per-turn timer, full-game timer, or none at all
A win-rate leaderboard for online play
Swappable piece sets and hand-drawn retro art
Emotes and live cursors, so your opponent can watch you hesitate
