7 itemsAbout the Game
Narik Chess is a chess client that supports a variety of variants, all of which can be played as standalone modes or in combination.
Variants
Conway Chess
Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, living slime cells spread, survive, and perish between turns. These evolving organisms reshape the battlefield in real time, creating shifting obstacles that both players must navigate.
Alice Chess
Pieces shift between the normal and Alice dimension after moving. Pieces can only capture when they start in the in same dimension as the piece they are capturing.
Multiverse Chess
Time travel becomes a new dimension of play. Pieces can move between historical boards, revisiting earlier turns to create branching timelines. Every new timeline remains active, forcing players to defend multiple realities at once.
Spell Chess
Cast powerful limited-use spells to alter the board, disrupt your opponent, and create tactical opportunities.
Duck Chess
After every turn, players must move the Duck — a wandering blocker that prevents all movement through its square. Master the chaos, outmaneuver your opponent, and never underestimate the Duck. Quack quack!
