Chess Realms

This is a very early prototype chess deckbuilding game. Development is probably not going to go very far beyond this because I don't have resources for better art, sounds, vfx, UI and all those other things.

Drag pieces and items to move them. Squares where moves are legal are highlighted. Click on pieces, badges or items to see descriptions for them on the right side of the screen. For badges and items, you will also see the legal squares where you can use them (illegal squares in red or orange). Enemy pieces also show you where they can move. The Control Zones button shows where your pieces and enemy pieces can threaten.

You can't capture or use items on turn 1. Also note that castling is less restricted than in normal chess (i.e. there is no restriction on pieces not being moved, and you can castle with any non pawnlike piece.)

Pawnlike pieces are any piece that can promote (and nonpawns are any piece that can't)

You can win each battle by leaving the enemy with only one piece or by reaching the back rank with your King, or by stalemating as well as the normal Checkmate. Note that the enemy has access to all these victory conditions as well.

Items will refresh at the end of each battle, so don't be afraid to use them.
