Chess Camelot
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chess Camelot turns chess into a game for the whole table. From 2 to 99 players share one phone or tablet, take turns in pairs and score points for every piece they capture. HOW IT WORKS • Players sit around the table. One plays White, the player opposite plays Black. • After both have moved, the phone goes to the next pair, so everyone plays both colours. • Every capture scores for the player who made it: pawn 1, knight 3, bishop 3, rook 5, queen 9. Points for captured White and Black pieces are kept separately. • Checkmate ends the game: only the pieces of the losing side count, and the player who delivered mate gets 5 bonus points. In a draw, every capture counts. • The highest total wins, so grabbing the queen is not always the smart move! FEATURES • 2 to 99 players (4 to 6 is the sweet spot) • Player names, a clear "Your move" marker and live points under each name • Move hints: tap a piece to see where it can go • Statistics: who captured what, at any moment • Results screen with places and the points that count • Built-in rules with examples • Full chess rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate and draws • No ads, no accounts, no data collection. Works offline. PERFECT FOR Family game nights, parties, classrooms and chess clubs looking for a fresh challenge. Gather your friends, pass the phone and find out who really wins.
