Get ready to experience chess like you’ve never seen it before, with eight variations of the classic backgammon game that will force chess enthusiasts to retrain their minds, while training newcomers to think like a chess master!
Chessarama is a chess-inspired single-player game series that uses chess pieces and their unique moves in reimagined ways with different goals and themes. Choose a game, learn its rules, play through its campaign, unlock collectibles and compete against other players on the leaderboards. Endless replayability awaits you here. Welcome to Chisarama!
Each game has its own theme, ruleset, and original hand-crafted levels for you to play! In Dragon Slayer, players must move a pawn to the end of the board, where it must kill a powerful dragon, although the dragon attacks the board each turn, destroying any unprotected pieces. In the feudal game Lady Ronin, set in Japan, the chess queen must remove all the pieces on the board to get close to and assassinate the shogun. In Soccer Chess, you must place your pieces to kick the ball into the goal. Try all of these games and many more original chess-inspired puzzle games in Chessarama!
“People may not know this, but Minimol Games has created more than 30 puzzle games in recent years, and Chessarama is the most ambitious to date,” said Rafael Dias, CEO and Game Director at Minimol Games. “Each variation requires you to train your brain in a whole new way, making the game extremely challenging for veterans and newcomers alike! We’re so excited to be able to share the fruits of our hard work with all of you!”
“Raphael is a chess fan and has a PhD in Physics, which makes him and his team great puzzle game creators and Chessarama is his masterpiece,” said Ashley Ringrose, Studio Head at SMG Studio. “Chessarama is a great, beautiful puzzle game, but more importantly it has a lot of personality. The Minimol team has done a really great job with their chess decks, each with their own personality and colors! We recommend anyone who enjoys puzzle games to try Chessarama.” Warning : You may end up not being able to leave the screen!
