ABOUT THE GAME

Check the enemy's schedule before making a move

The first army consists of two pieces: a king and a pawn. Based on the movement rules of chess, it combines movements using action points and the use of abilities. Protect your allies while watching the enemy's planned actions, grow and replenish, and take on eight battles.

01

Move pieces with action points

When you select a piece, the squares that can be moved and action points will be displayed. Combine movement and use of abilities, and advance to the opponent's turn with End Turn. The challenge ends when the king is taken.

02

Enemy actions are announced on the board

You can check the enemy's movement destination, target, and dangerous squares before taking action. Look at the preview, decide the position of the king and the pieces you have raised, and wait for your opponent's turn.

03

Raise the surviving pieces

Pieces that survive a stage gain experience and can evolve into another piece if the conditions are met. You can replenish your allies at the store and form an army of up to 16 pieces, while captured pieces are lost.
