About the Game

Chess meets Poker. Strategy meets risk. Every move is a bet.

Welcome to a tactical board game where chess combat, poker hands, and high-stakes betting collide. Each Odyssey is an 8 round run where smart positioning, clever captures, and bold poker plays determine how rich, or ruined, you become.

Capture enemy pieces to earn money, build poker hands from your cards and the board, and decide when to play it safe or push your luck. The deeper you go, the higher the stakes and the bigger the rewards.

Tactical Board Combat

• Capture enemy pieces to earn money

• Each piece has a unique value. Risk high captures for massive payouts

• Lose pieces and you may lose future opportunities

Poker-Driven Strategy

• Build poker hands using your cards and community cards

• Win your opponent’s winnings by outplaying them at the table

• Rare hands and smart timing can swing an entire run

High-Risk, High-Reward Betting

• Bets increase every round

• Capture streaks boost rewards but getting caught resets your multiplier

• Sometimes letting the enemy capture you is the smarter play

Odyssey Runs & Bonuses

• 8 rounds per Odyssey with escalating difficulty

• Earn powerful bonuses for fast wins, clean boards, and perfect runs

• Every Odyssey has its own strategy and optimal path

Designed for Replayability

• No two runs play the same

• Multiple viable strategies: aggressive, defensive, or deceptive

• Chase high scores across different categories

Outthink your opponent, outplay the board and know when to fold.
