  • Create custom boards with new layouts

  • You're not limited to the standard pieces, let your creativity out

  • Start with an aggressive forward assault, Or perhaps a defensive fortress designed to weather the storm

  • It's like chess but with deckbuilding and dragons...

  • Will you outwit, outmanoeuvre, or out-explode your way to victory?

  • Fusefort: Explodes on capturing/capture, destroying all pieces on that square and to the sides

  • Spearman: pawn who can sidestep and lunge forward to attack 2 spaces ahead

  • Cracked Pawn: a cheaper & weaker pawn, allowing you to purchase more powerful pieces elsewhere

And many more...
