A browser chess roguelike pairs solo dungeon runs with artifacts, spells, bosses, and online 1v1 matches.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.
For
Chess players who enjoy roguelike progression
Worth noticing
A loss resets the run to level 1, but tokens and permanent traits survive for later attempts.

Field notes

The interface lays out a run-based loop with level, army, shop, artifact, scroll, and spell-book sections, alongside a high-score screen. Its reset message says players lose artifacts on defeat but keep tokens and traits, which gives repeat runs a persistent progression layer. The multiplayer lobby displays public opponent search, private invite links, and a four-digit join code; pass-and-play is also listed for offline use.
