How to Play

Players take turns and must choose between two actions:

Deploy a new pawn on the board
Move an existing pawn already on the board, following standard chess pawn movement rules.

Strategic placement and movement are key. When your pawn reaches the far end of the board, it is promoted to a powerful Queen Pawn, drastically increasing its movement and attack options. This promotion can turn the tide of battle in an instant.

How to Win

The game ends when one player eliminates all of their opponent’s pawns. There’s no king to protect. Just outwit, outmaneuver, and outlast.
