Super Chess is a roguelike strategy game where classic chess collides with cards, spells, and brutal risk–reward decisions. Every run is a self-contained battle for survival ⚔️. Every mistake matters. And every victory is earned.

At its core, Super Chess is a turn-based chess battle system—but stripped of tradition and rebuilt for chaos 🧩. You don’t start with a fixed board or predictable pieces. At the beginning of each run, you draw a random hand of cards from your deck 🃏. These cards represent chess pieces with unique abilities, materials, and synergies. You may discard up to two cards before the run begins, forcing an early strategic choice: adapt, or gamble 🎲.

Each dungeon is a gauntlet 🏰. You must clear it in a single run without losing. Defeat resets everything—your deck, gold, spells, and temporary upgrades are wiped clean 💀. Only Books persist 📚. This design makes every run tense and meaningful, pushing you to think long-term while surviving short-term threats.

Between battles, you visit shops 🛒. Shops are where strategies are born or salvaged. Buy new piece cards, powerful one-time spells, or rare Books that permanently reshape how you play ✨. Strong early purchases can define an entire run, while poor decisions will haunt you in later battles.

Spells are active, consumable abilities designed to save you in impossible situations 🔥❄️. Freeze enemies, hurl fireballs, swap pieces across the board, teleport allies, mesmerize foes, or even rewind the last turn with Flashback ⏪. Spells are meant to be used, not hoarded—and they can always be rebought if you survive long enough.

Books are passive, permanent modifiers that form the backbone of your strategy 📖. Turn all pawns into gold-stealing units 💰. Transform knights into fragile glass cannons 💥. Give rooks a chance to evade attacks 🌲. Gain extra discards or spawns at the start of every run. Books stack, interact, and sometimes break the game in beautiful ways.

Pieces themselves are wildly customizable ⚙️. Materials like Glass, Wood, Gold, and Onyx change how pieces deal damage, evade attacks, or interact with status effects. Accessories add another layer: wings allow free movement 🪽, bomb packs explode on death 💣, robes grant invisibility 👁️, and skull armor enables delayed resurrection ☠️. Every piece on the board becomes a tactical puzzle.

Combat is dense with emergent interactions 🧠. Armor blocks damage 🛡️. Freeze delays turns ❄️. Bombs reshape positioning 💥. Coin theft fuels risky economic plays 💸. Shields counter specific mechanics. No two battles unfold the same way, even against familiar enemies.

Super Chess rewards planning, improvisation, and controlled greed 📊. Strong pieces improve your opening turns. Spells bail you out of disasters. Books demand commitment. Losing is part of learning—but mastery comes from understanding how systems collide.

This is not traditional chess.
This is chess under pressure.
