What Makes Dark Chess Tournament Stand Out
Dark Chess Tournament is a game of chess with "Fog of War" feature, a chess variant with incomplete information.
"Fog of War" conceals opposing armies. Enemy units become visible in proximity of one square around friendly units or within a striking move. Only the first unit under direct threat is shown. This adds a great amount of unpredictability and a scouting aspect to the game. Makes it exceptionally tactical.
The goal of the game is not to checkmate the king, but to capture it. Failing to move the king out of check or moving him into check are legal moves. It can result in a capture and loss of the game.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Nice game from Skillz. We are addicted to this game now.
Yeah dont really know what we expected but the layout is nice and we think Im going to start being more high strung because they can come out of nowhere dude.
We liked Dark Chess, good challenge.
We wish you could play regular people but you can only race other people in beating bots.
This game is very fun! Love the fog of war feature and the art is beautiful.
