About Solo Chess

Inspired by chess and minimalist roguelikes, Solo Chess blends tactical decision-making with cozy aesthetics. Whether you are lining up a combo with Pawns or duplicating effects with a clever Queen placement, your board is small—but your plays are mighty.

Core Features

Chess-Inspired Deckbuilding Start with a 16-card deck made of Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Rooks, Queens, and Kings—each with a unique scoring effect based on its traditional movement.

Combo-Centric Scoring Hit specific rank sums like 4, 8, or 12 to trigger special combo bonuses. Align your plays and maximize your score with tight math and clever placement.

Wave-Based Roguelike Runs Face an escalating series of challenges. Every board layout and card draw becomes a new puzzle to solve.
