About

Dice Chess Duel

Features
Read full description

Dice Chess is a novel strategy game with dice on a chess board. Each die can move exactly the amount of squares that its face value shows. A die may turn 90° once during a move. While moving across the board, the die rotates in the direction its moving and thus the facing up value changes. This can create many complex strategical situations.
