RULES:
The rules are the same as regular chess except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. The object of the game is to capture your opponent’s king. Parts of the board are hidden from view. You can only see your pieces, 1 space around each of your pieces, and the spaces any of your pieces could move or attack to. At the top of the screen is the time you have remaining before you automatically lose the game. On the side of the screen is a list of enemy pieces you’ve captured. You are allowed to castle through a threatened space.

If you play the campaign, you’ll face opponents that have special unknown rules for you to figure out, like fighting an army of knights, traps in the floor, or they’ll have the ability to swap the location of their pieces. There are also checkmate puzzles to solve, unique board setups, and possibly more. Click the rules button in the top right to see the objective for the level you are playing. The mystery and challenge is yours to discover.
