7 itemsAbout the Game
Cachuchin: By Waleles is a fast, tactical duel inspired by chess and powered by movement cards. Read the board, predict your opponent, and turn every turn into a trap.
Chess, but the rules keep moving
Each player holds two movement cards, plus one neutral card shared between both sides. Every card represents an animal and a unique movement pattern. For example, the Horse card lets any of your pawns move like a knight in classic chess.
On your turn, you choose one of your two cards, move any pawn using that card’s movement, and then that card swaps with the neutral card. What you play now shapes what your opponent can play next.
Protect your King, invade the Base
You control five pawns, and one of them is your King.
You win by:
Capturing the enemy King
Reaching the opponent’s Base (the tile where the King begins)
Every move matters, because every card you use changes the future.
