Key highlight

Kingmaker is a chess-like strategy game with an expanded board and a central crown square objective. It features unique abilities for standard pieces and new original pieces, offering a fresh strategic challenge.

Details

Overview

Kingmaker is a unique take on the classic game of chess, developed and published by H26. This strategy title expands the traditional chessboard by adding an extra rank and file, introducing a central 'crown square'. The primary objective is to maneuver your king to this crown square before your opponent does, offering a fresh win condition beyond checkmate. While the crown square is a key strategic point, it is also designed to be defensible.

Highlights

Expanded Chessboard: Features a larger board with a central crown square, introducing a new victory condition.
Unique Piece Abilities: All standard chess pieces are enhanced with special abilities, and new original pieces with distinct powers can be swapped in for deeper strategy.
Strategic Depth: Builds upon familiar chess mechanics while adding layers of complexity through new rules and piece functionalities.

Who It's For

Kingmaker is ideal for players who enjoy strategy board games, particularly those with a fondness for chess but are looking for a novel challenge. Its turn-based nature and emphasis on strategic planning will appeal to casual gamers and seasoned tacticians alike.
