Magichess

Read full description

Magichess is an amazing evolution of traditional chess played on a 10x10 board with a help of the dice, the throw of which determines how far the player's pieces can go during one turn. Magichess introduces two additional pieces on the board - the Wizards. They are as free in motion as Dragons (Queens in traditional chess) but can pass through the pieces of their kin. When they kill an enemy, the tenacity of the enemy piece is converted into extra steps for the kin during the current turn. It is really a new level of strategic thinking and passion in the familiar game. All you know about chess can be left aside. Get ready for an amazing adventure for your brains. Board games never were so exciting but yet simple. You can play with friends or strangers over the Internet or play with companions on one device, passing it from hand to hand.

Loaded Fate is a single-player dice roguelike. Each night you have five rolls to reach a target score. Rolls you don't use are converted into money for the shop between nights, so every reroll is a trade-off. Match numbers to make hands: a pair, three of a kind, a run, a full house and more. Every hand multiplies the roll. Build a tray from 60+ unique dice with abilities like chaining, copying, growing and destroying, and shape your run with 70+ perks. Travel three worlds and eighteen zones, each ending in a boss with its own rule. No ads, no accounts, no sign-in. Landscape only. Free: the first six zones in full. Full game (one purchase): the rest of the road, every remaining die and perk, and endless mode.
