It's a very fun chess-rougelike hybrid so far. Had fun with the King deck for the flexibility as well as using the powerful knight cards.
played on gx games this is fun
Ayo can we get the soundtrack anytime soon?
i played this on gx.games with no problems but i tried to download it and i got an error message that says

i'm playing a lot and i'm sad because the game ended, well, atleast there's endless mode but, i think i will never beat the 1352 record so yeah, until an update arrives, it's checkmate for me
The idea behind this is amazing. I just beat the first part of Advise the King and I loved it. 10/10
what is this game made with

Thank you for sharing such amazing game! Idea, game concept and development is just very clever! I didn't play such new experience with chess since Navia Dratp.
Surely you already know but there is an issue with basic pawn cards retaining higher cost (e.g.: 2 diamonds; means card design/effect/text reverts to basic card expect the cost) for next round when they were promoted in a previous round. Also at end of the round you cannot banish a card promoted during round.
Dude, if built upon this is such an amazing game! I would love to see more card interactions and it's such a simple idea! 10/10 fantastic game.
Thank you!
It'd be fun to build on someday, for sure -- perhaps after we finish our current game?
I actually really love the idea behind this, i do wish that there was a bit more deck-building aspects but overall it's great!
