• Mad Chess Beta 0.85 - Carbuncles, Kobolds & Mandrakes factions - - 8 October 2024

  General Three new factions enter the madness ! Burrow underground with the Kobolds and emerge to inflict status effects on the enemies, or play with the sun/moon cycle of the Mandrakes to control the center of the board, or use the Carbuncles with their unusual move patterns and first-move bonus to mystify your opponent! New updated keywords: travel = non-capturing move, capture = capturing move, move = non-capturing or capturing move; meaning a pawn travels forward (1) but captures diagonally (1), and a queen moves surround (7). Updated all unit ability descriptions to be shorter and integrate the new keywords Time increments added to versus and multiplayer games (0, 3, 5 or 10 seconds) Change to chaos mode: now only randomizes units from any factions + adding 3 objects (does not shuffle the pieces in the back rank anymore) New shuffle mode: click on the shuffle option to shuffle your…

• Dev Play + Q&A - 13 June 2022

  Dev Play + Q&A Mad Chess is a massive Expansion Pack to classic chess that adds new factions to the game such as dragons, vampires & angels for a grand total of 13 armies based on RPG-class archetypes. Mad Chess is a game that maintains standard chess rules while adding more than 80 unique fairy chess pieces divided into 13 armies of equal strength. Most armies have the same pawns and kings as classic chess, but the 4 other pieces, while having the same movement patterns, trade their reduced range for special RPG abilities. This makes Mad Chess easy to learn but hard to master. With 91 match-ups instead of 1, chess just got its biggest expansion pack in centuries. Madness? No. Mad Chess.
