High Stakes Chess
Released 22 October 2026 · PC · Strategy
A fusion of poker and chess where cards determine the pieces you bring into battle. Bet on each hand, place your pieces, then fight it out on the chessboard.
Story
POKER Every round starts with a hand of poker, but the deck is made entirely of chess pieces. Bet, bluff, and build the strongest hand you can. The cards you collect determine which pieces you’ll have available in the battle ahead, and strong poker hands earn additional rewards. PLACEMENT Once the cards are revealed, turn your hand into an army. Choose where to place your pieces on the board and build a position around the forces you were dealt. Every round gives you a different army, so there’s no standard opening to fall back on. CHESS Then the battle begins. Take turns moving and capturing pieces using familiar chess rules, but with armies and starting positions shaped by everything that happened during the poker and placement phases. Outplay your opponent at the table, build the better position, and win the round through checkmate.
