Pit Chess

Om

Capture pieces of the opposite color, and build up your multiplier for even more points! Capturing a pawn will reduce your multiplier to 1x, but it will keep more pieces from falling into play. Pieces will drop into the play area when you don’t capture a pawn, and if there aren’t enough open columns to accommodate the number of pieces that will fall (Pieces To Fall), it’s game over. If you make a move without capturing any pieces, the Pieces To Fall number increases, making it harder to stay alive! It helps to have a prior knowledge of chess, but the pieces don’t always move exactly the same way. However, bishops and knights do. Pawns can only move up and to the right or left, and only to attack. Rooks can only move horizontally. Queens can do anything a rook or bishop can do. Kings can move one space in any direction, or swap spaces with an adjacent piece of the same color. Pit Chess is a single-player puzzle game inspired by chess, as well as games like Drop7 and SpellTower.
