01 / Find your moment

Chess has a rhythm.
Play the interruption.

You don’t move every piece on every turn. Your side plays on its own—until a planned move belongs to your team. Then the board is yours to influence.

Pick your three

Build a starting team from knights, bishops and rooks. The pieces you control shine jade on the board.

Take the turn your way

When control passes to you, play any legal move with any piece in your team. You’re free to change the plan.

Make a new possibility

Earn experience, choose abilities and reshape your options as the game unfolds. A guided first game lets you learn by playing.
