About the Game

STRIKE CHESS                                                                                             

                                                                                                           

Chess, but both players move at the same time.                                                           

                                                                                                           

Every round you get 30 seconds to plan your move in secret. Your opponent does too. When the countdown   

hits zero, both moves play out simultaneously. No taking turns. No reacting. Only predicting.            

                                                                                                           

On top of the chess, six tactical strike cards drop throughout the match. They turn a quiet endgame into 

 a firefight.
