You like to play chess but sometimes you want something...more? Chessed Up is the game for you! You have the same traditional chess pieces, but they are not what they seem: A pawn that can shoot a cannon ball. A knight that can jump to any space on the board. A bishop that can bring back captured pieces. A queen that explodes when captured. A rook that cannot be captured. And way more! There are 12 special pieces beyond the traditional ones, and 6 game modes. As you play more and more, you advance levels and unlock special pieces and game modes.
