Start with pawns, end with clowns. Gambeat is a chess roguelike deckbuilder where you build a roster of evolving pieces, stack game-breaking stickers, and chase absurd high scores.
Every capture adds to your score, but only the smartest plays and wildest combos score big enough to hit the next target.
Collect and combine stickers throughout the run to shape your build. Get wild with stickers that make your bishops bounce off walls, or play it straight with stickers that reward classic chess plays like forks and pins.
Your roster, your rules. Customize each piece to fit your strategy, or remove it from your roster entirely. Choose from distinct starting rosters, each with its own modifiers and playstyle.
