About This Game

Welcome to Quess

What changes when a familiar strategy game has three opponents instead of one?

Quess brings a four-player board game to three familiar classics: chess, checkers, and backgammon. Read the board, adapt to changing positions, and keep an eye on three opponents at once.

Play Quess, CheQuers, and BaQugammon in one connected collection of four-player strategy games.

CHOOSE YOUR ELEMENT

Choose the element that represents you before the game begins. It becomes part of your identity throughout the Quess universe, reflected through your visual presentation, throne, aura, and animations.

FIRE RED — Change and duality. Creation and destruction, guided by knowledge.
WATER BLUE — Adaptability and formless flow.
AIR GREY—Swift, Unpredictable, Unstoppable.
EARTH GREEN—Steady, Strong, and Unshakable. Own the Board.

Your element is visual and philosophical, not a gameplay modifier. The classic game remains at its core, with only the changes needed to accommodate four players.

Three Games. One Strategy Universe.

QUESS

Four-player chess is built around the familiar rules of the classic game.

Keep your King safe while tracking threats from three directions. Every move changes the board—and a move that puts pressure on one opponent can leave you open to another.

BAQUGAMMON

In this four-player backgammon game, every roll has to be considered alongside the positions of the three other players.

Race, take risks, and manage your position while three other players compete for space and momentum. Every roll can change what comes next.

CHEQUERS

Checkers, with three opponents sharing the board.

Familiar moves become harder to predict when four players are in the game. Positions shift quickly, openings close, and every move can create a new opportunity.

EASY TO START. BUILT FOR DEEPER STRATEGY.

New to four-player board games or already comfortable around a chessboard? Quess keeps the experience easy to get into while giving you plenty to think about as the match develops.

Learn the basics quickly, then develop your own way of reading the board.
