Steam Store description

What is CalvinChess? It's chess, but the rules keep changing! CalvinChess is a chess variant with roguelike elements designed for multiplayer gameplay and chaotic fun in mind. After each turn, a player is presented with a choice among various rules or events to apply to the board, changing how pieces move, where they're placed, or even which spaces exist where!

Features Customizable game setup - Games can be customized to add/remove certain rules, change the frequency of when they appear and which player gets to choose, what the initial board looks like, and more! If you really wanted to, you could play normal chess ! Cartoony and satisfying visuals - Pieces slide into place, move in sequence, and spontaneously combust upon being taken!

Rules affecting specific pieces will also be highlighted as necessary. No need to do all that mental math in your head! Personalization options - Choose what colors the dark and light pieces are! Local and online multiplayer - Play using…
