CHARK is a compact chess roguelike about turning a tiny crown into momentum on a 5×5 board - stack small edges, seize greedy moments, and watch the position flip in your favor. Short, tense runs become comeback stories as your King snowballs and the rules start to bend.

About This Game

    

CHARK is a chess-inspired roguelike on a 5×5 board. Play piece-cards to move your King, draft “food” modifiers. Short runs, high skill ceiling.

    

Every turn is a choice: play it safe or gamble for two optional side challenges to grab big multipliers. “Food” synergies bend the rules on the fly from careful tactics to explosive combos.

Features

  • Tactical 5×5 board with chess-piece movement via cards.

  • Multiple Kings with unique passives and playstyles.

  • “Food” artifacts for combos, multipliers, and flexible builds.

  • Two risk-reward challenges each round.

  • 15–25 minute runs: easy to pick up, deep to master.

  • Clean minimalist UI and straightforward controls.

Easy to learn, dangerously replayable. Wishlist now and see how far your King can go.
