8 itemsAbout the Game
Chess 2 is a turn-based strategy game that combines chess with 4X systems.
You capture territory, build farms, grow your economy, spawn units, and fight for control of the map. It is not just about moving pieces well. You also need to expand, defend key areas, manage resources, and deal with diplomacy.
The game has both singleplayer and multiplayer, with matches built around map control, army management, and long-term decision making.
Alongside familiar chess units, Chess 2 also includes special pieces that change how matches play. Expect pieces like the Dragon, which copies movement patterns, the Nuke, which can blow pieces up, the Portal, which lets units teleport, and other unusual units that add new tactical options to the board.
