Crown Dash

Crown Dash is a fast strategy game on an 8×8 board, with chess-style time controls and two ways to win. TWO WAYS TO WIN • Capture the enemy Crown. • Or march your own Crown onto their back row. Attack, defend or race. Every turn, you choose. SIMPLE PIECES, REAL DECISIONS Each side has six pieces: one Crown, three Warriors and two Riders. Crowns and Warriors step one square in any direction. Riders jump in an L, over anything. Move one piece per turn. That is the whole rulebook. ONE POWER MOVE PER MATCH Before the clock starts, pick your Power Move: • Dash: move any piece up to two squares in a straight line. • Guard: your Crown can't be captured until your next turn. You get one use. Timing is everything. BULLET, BLITZ OR RAPID Pick 1, 3, 5, 10 or 30 minutes on each clock. You keep a separate rating for Bullet, Blitz and Rapid, stored on your device.
