Gryphon Chess

Read full description

Gryphon Chess is a new take on the board game classic. Novel mechanics and tactics await for you to collect and explore! Three factions vie for power: the industrious and methodical Empire, the elusive creatures of the Woodland, and the tough and stubborn Saurians. Each faction has unique pieces, play styles, and strategies to learn. [Special Features] COLLECT AND UPGRADE PIECES Collect and upgrade unique pieces as you play and progress. (Yes, even gryphons - or griffons - or griffins... any way you spell it, make sure you know where they're at!) As you upgrade pieces, they'll gain additional movement patterns and abilities. CUSTOM SETS Create custom faction-specific sets. Mix and match pieces from the standard set and each faction to suit your strategy, but beware! Your opponent will have their own custom set and pieces. [Strategic Gameplay] SHARPER MATCHES With three additional win conditions, Gryphon Chess matches are typically quicker and more pointed. With custom sets, each match becomes a real-time puzzle.

About

Overboard!

Read full description

Two moves. One push. No mercy. Overboard! is a fast, brutal two-player abstract strategy game. Slide your pieces into position โ€” up to two moves per turn โ€” then shove. Force any one of your opponent's pieces off the board and you win on the spot. Simple rules, deep tactics: โ€ข Squares move and push. Rounds only move โ€” but they block like champions. โ€ข Every turn MUST end with a push. Run out of pushes and you lose. โ€ข After you push, the anchor locks your piece in place: no immediate counter-shove. โ€ข Rails guard the sides. The ends are open water. WAYS TO PLAY โ€ข Pass & Play โ€” one phone, two players, zero setup โ€ข Play a Friend โ€” Game Center invites, play at your own pace โ€ข Ranked Lobby โ€” matched with strangers near your rating, with a full Elo system โ€ข Match History โ€” replay any finished game move by move Learn it in two minutes with the built-in guide. Master it never.
