Brings what grabs you about Battle vs. Chess: turn-based combat, tactical depth and gameplay over story.

Classic chess where every capture plays out as a short animated fight between the pieces. The tongue-in-cheek humor turns the board game into an entertaining spectacle.

A Druid's Duel

Turn-based combat

A quick turn-based strategy game steeped in Celtic lore, where you build and tear down the board itself using nature's power. Short, tactical duels are the focus.

Khet 2.0

Gameplay comes before story

A digital board game where you move Egyptian-themed mirror pieces and then fire a laser to hit your opponent's Pharaoh. The rules are quick to learn, but planning laser paths ahead gives real tactical depth.

Skulls of the Shogun

Turn-based combat

Turn-based tactics in the vein of Advance Wars: as a fallen samurai general you lead troops across compact battlefields, summon units and devour skulls to power up. Its colorful art and cheeky humor make it accessible and charming.

Greed Corp

Linear, curated structure

Turn-based strategy on a hex board that crumbles as you harvest resources. You balance greed against survival and use the collapsing terrain tactically against your opponents.

Blood Bowl III

Turn-based combat

Blood Bowl III is a turn-based tactical adaptation of the brutal fantasy football tabletop game, where you lead a team of orcs, elves or undead through leagues. Dice luck, dirty fouls and clever plays make for tense, chaotic matches, best enjoyed against human opponents.

Hero Academy

Turn-based combat

A turn-based tactics board-style game with a light fantasy look, where you duel friends or other players. You command a team of heroes, mages and monsters and use each move wisely to outmaneuver your opponent.
