Steam Store description

Glyph Chess is a strategic board game infused with magical fantasy elements, derived from the Tales of Tarsylia . On a board where the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth intertwine, you will command mages with distinct abilities. Your goal is to escort your Scepter to the central "Source of Magic" or to destroy the enemy's Scepter. Core Features Seven Unique Pieces: Summoner : Summon an army to overwhelm your opponent. Illusionist : Stealth and invisibility, shifting positions at will. Abjurer : Project a Force Field to protect allies or crush enemies. Necromancer : Manipulate life and death, reviving any corpse to serve you. Diviner : Project a Divine Ward to suppress magic, the bane of all mages. Evoker : Pierce through the battlefield, incinerating everything. Scepter : The core and soul, the key to victory. Contest the Center, Unleash Metamagic The "Source of Magic" at the center of the board is a strategic focal point. When your piece occupies the center, it gains powerful Metamagic abilities. Controlling the center often tips the scales of victory in your favor. 2v2 Alliance Battles In four-player matches, players sitting opposite each other form an alliance. Tacit cooperation is the key to victory.
