About This Game

Team Chess is just chess, but every piece is controlled by a different player. Use proximity voice chat to coordinate with your teammates, negotiate with your enemies, beg for your life, and hopefully win the match.

You're a piece

You're one piece on a chessboard full of players. Work with your team (or don't), make your moves, and hopefully make it to the end in one piece.

Talk (or scream)

Talk to nearby pieces using proximity voice chat. Need to get a message to someone on the other side of the board? Scream at your teammates to pass the message along and hope it makes it there in time. Just remember, the enemy can hear you too!

Just chess

The rules are still the same as in chess. Well, mostly. The king picks who moves each turn, and that piece decides where it moves. Better hope you can agree on a plan.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I’m not a fan of generative AI, and I’ve tried to keep the game’s creative work human-made either by making things myself or by commissioning people.

I did use generative AI for a very small number of visual assets. An initial AI-generated concept was used for the game logo, which I redesigned and expanded myself. I also used AI assistance for a simple pattern used in the disco spotlight effect (literally just white circles on a black background), as well as for a couple of UI sprites.

So basically nothing you see is a product of "ChatGPT give me a steam capsule!". But because AI did have even the smallest part in the creation of these few assets I feel better sharing this with you instead of lying and saying I never used it.

I hope this doesn't stop you from playing the game since all the people that made material for it really put work and love into it.

Also, no AI is used to generate any content during gameplay.
