About this game

A cinematic 3D chess game in the browser. Rival civilisations — a medieval European Ivory Kingdom, a Mesoamerican Sun Empire and Napoleonic France's Grande Armée — face each other as sculpted, rigged characters that march, strike, scream and burn away into dust on a marble-and-basalt board. Full chess rules via chess.js, a Web Worker search engine, seven battlegrounds, and AI vs AI attract mode. Original project by alexngdev99 / Rork (MIT).

Controls

Orbit/zoom: drag and mouse wheel (one-finger drag and pinch on touch). Select a figure, then click a highlighted square to move — destinations hidden behind a figure still count. Promotion: tap a candidate or press Q/R/B/N. F flip camera, T tactical map, H chronicle, C cinema mode, Esc cancel. Settings gear: armies, battleground, graphics, clocks, sound.
