How to play
The rules are based on the classic board game but feature key differences:
Dice Roll: At the start of each turn, you roll three dice. Their faces show piece types (Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, or King).
Moves: You have up to three actions per turn. You can only move the pieces that appeared on your dice. The pieces themselves move according to standard rules.
Passing: If there are no legal moves for the pieces rolled, your actions are lost and the turn passes to your opponent.
How to win: There is no check or checkmate concept here. Your only goal is to capture the enemy King. The match ends with a juicy explosion right after the King is captured!
Watch the timer: if the time runs out, you lose the match. Roll the dice and destroy the enemy King!
