What is Wargame Chess?

Wargame Chess is a 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 framework that supports 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.

Multiple edits and changes incoming!

Recently we hosted some testing sessions with a group of game designers. After the games we discussed what works and doesn't work in the current version of Wargame Chess. Over the next while, we will be rolling out some changes to faction rules - immediately addressing more problematic rule and gameplay interactions.

As well, we are working on larger improvements to the game system - these will be rolled out in Wargame Chess Beta v2.0. All existing factions will be updated to work within that new version.
