Welcome to the Wargame Chess site!

What is Wargame Chess?

Wargame Chess is an activation-based tabletop wargame that uses a chess set, but also incorporates other gaming devices like dice and cards. The core rules to the game are a simple framework to support a variety of faction options. Understanding faction differences and interactions accounts for most of the game’s nuance.

Wargame Chess is not a variation of traditional chess - though it uses the same pieces and borrows some concepts from it, it is a wholly different game.

Getting started

First, you will need the Game Rules and Resources. Then, take a look over the various Factions to see which one best suits your play style.
