About This Game

Most chess roguelikes try to streamline or simplify the game, but with Gambit, we wanted to do the exact opposite, we wanted to make your life harder. Each opponent runs on a Fairy Stockfish engine, so no two runs will feel the same, and if you’re a chess enthusiast looking for something that will truly strain your brain, Gambit is built for you.
