Lady Checkmate

Your father was dragged away as a traitor. Your house fell in a single night. All that is left is one small estate on the border, a little brother to protect, and an old tutor who settles every quarrel on a board. Lady Checkmate is a logic puzzle duel with a story. Every board has exactly one solution: one queen in every row, every column and every coloured domain, and no two queens may touch, not even corner to corner. Read the board, place your queens, and each one becomes a strike against your rival. PUZZLE DUELS Every queen you place hits your opponent. Keep your combo going, call Checkmate when your gauge is full, and raise your Fan to block the blow you saw coming. Your sand is your time. When it runs out, the duel is lost. A STORY TOLD AS A WEBTOON Follow Aurelie Orbel from the night her family fell to her first stand against the Tax Collector who has come for her last home. Her story unfolds chapter by chapter in illustrated webtoon scenes, starting with Chapter 1, The Fall, with new chapters opening one after another. A WARDROBE THAT MAKES YOU STRONGER Collect 72 court outfits in six parts: fan, tiara, dress, gloves, shoes and jewel. Buy the exact piece you want, merge three of the same grade into the next grade, and choose which of two designs you receive. Nothing is left to chance. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY One Daily Formation for everyone, every day, with a leaderboard and a weekly league. Five daily quests and a 7-day attendance gift. ADS ONLY WHEN YOU CHOOSE There are no banners. Ads are rewarded: you watch one only for a reward, and an ad offered between duels can always be skipped. Lady Checkmate is free to play. It has optional in-app purchases and ads. Privacy Policy: https://ladycheckmate.mintcinc.com/privacy/ Terms of Service: https://ladycheckmate.mintcinc.com/terms/
