i'm playing a lot and i'm sad because the game ended, well, atleast there's endless mode but, i think i will never beat the 1352 record so yeah, until an update arrives, it's checkmate for me
The idea behind this is amazing. I just beat the first part of Advise the King and I loved it. 10/10
what is this game made with

Thank you for sharing such amazing game! Idea, game concept and development is just very clever! I didn't play such new experience with chess since Navia Dratp.
Surely you already know but there is an issue with basic pawn cards retaining higher cost (e.g.: 2 diamonds; means card design/effect/text reverts to basic card expect the cost) for next round when they were promoted in a previous round. Also at end of the round you cannot banish a card promoted during round.
Dude, if built upon this is such an amazing game! I would love to see more card interactions and it's such a simple idea! 10/10 fantastic game.
Thank you!
It'd be fun to build on someday, for sure -- perhaps after we finish our current game?
I actually really love the idea behind this, i do wish that there was a bit more deck-building aspects but overall it's great!
