About the Game

Flip Chess is a tactical card-flipping strategy game inspired by chess.

The game is played on a grid of face-down character cards. Each player controls a set of meeples and begins from different sides of the board.

On a player’s turn:

Move one meeple.

Flip one face-down card.

When a meeple enters a revealed card, that card’s chess-inspired ability must be resolved immediately. As more cards are revealed, the board state evolves, creating shifting tactical possibilities.

Victory can be achieved in three ways:

All cards are revealed and you control the majority of King cards.

You capture all of an opponent’s meeples.

An opponent can no longer make a legal move.

A player controls a King card when their meeple is on it. If no majority exists when all cards are revealed, play continues until one player gains one.

Flip Chess supports 2–4 players, with the core experience designed primarily for two.
