I don't know how to play chess, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this! Everything is exceptionally well-done, and easy for even a chess novice like me to understand. Great job on this game!

This is my favourite game in the jam so far. Everything feels really polished, the gameplay, the art, and the overall presentation. I love the deckbuilding mechanics, and how you have to play super aggressively in order to stay alive. Amazing.

Come on like what are we even doing, they should end voting right here with this one.

Well done on getting so much out so quickly! Love the game (but no en passant), hope you guys take this to steam with even more content soon!

CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU MADE THIS IN JUST 4 DAYS!!! OMG!!

loved this!

I wasn't sure I liked how pieces move randomly, and they definitely made some boneheaded moves, but near the end it clicked for me that it was a way of balancing the more powerful pieces by giving them more randomness.

Interesting twist of chess!

Insanely cool game, well made graphics, no weak point really.
I had fun playing it, but I got a problem with the settings UI. Once I opened it, I couldn't close it anymore. I had to restart the game to play again.
