Grab your pawns... Wait... Wait is that a Dragon? Did the board just explode? And where’d that Flying Fish come from? Total chaos awaits in the launch of Chessemble, the wildest chess variant you’ll ever play, hitting PC via Steam on November 19th 2025.
Chessemble isn’t your grandpa’s old chess, it’s chess with deckbuilding, dragons, and a whole lot of BOOM. Build your own army with 16+ new unique pieces, from the Fusefort that explodes on capture, wiping out everything to its sides, to the Dragon that wipes out all pieces in front... Even your own pieces!
Craft custom board layouts to unleash aggressive assaults or bunker down in a defensive fortress that laughs at kings. Outwit, outmanoeuvre, or outexplode your opponents in this new form of chess strategy.
