GoblinChess is a new type of chess game where we introduce ten different magical cards to the gameplay, and some chaos if you want. You can play online or against the built in robot.
Revenue comes from in-game items and microtransactions, which our price-based model doesn't estimate. Copies below reflect the player base, not paid sales.

About
Despite its playful appearance, GoblinChess is a serious chess game:
Traditional Chess Foundation: In the beginning of the game only standard chess pieces exist on the board
Spell Card System: 10 spell cards that can alter gameplay, each player starts with five random cards
Multiple Game Modes: Classic and Chaotic variants with different time controls. Choose between, online, robot or local play.
ELO Rating System: Standard chess ranking system for anyone playing online
Modern Chess Rules: Supports everything you'd expect from competitive chess, e.g. en passant, repetition draw (3x), stalemate etc.
No In-Game Purchases: You pay a one-time price for the client, if you choose our official client (the one shown in the video above).
Open Data/Free Platform: This game has an unusually sound long-term foundation. This has interesting implications for the technically inclined, read more at Github GoblinChessChromiaBackend.

Did the guy seriously just replace chess pieces with goblin models and add a couple of cards for variety? That’s way too ridiculous for a 2026 game.
Finally a successer to Battle chess. Been Looking for a a chess game with animation for eons.
