Snack Attack turns chess into a bite-sized puzzle feast. Capture enemy pieces to clear each course, and eat the king to win the board. Checkmate is not required. How it plays Tap one of your pieces, then tap what it can capture. Chain captures back to back to build your Feast multiplier and pile on points. You get a shared move budget for the whole run; every move costs one, but each piece you eat earns one back, so a long chain of captures is practically free. Clear all 50 courses to finish a run, and watch out: some boss kings need more than one bite. Modes and difficulty Tactics: take your time and plan the perfect meal. Blitz: one countdown covers the whole run. Successful completion earns one bonus based on the time remaining. Pick Easy, Normal, Hard, or a punishing GM difficulty. Your utensils Teleport a piece across the board or plate an extra Chess Piece to set up a capture. A Banana protects your Feast streak. Also on the menu A dozen collectible chess sets are on the menu. Your best scores appear in the Hall of Feasts, while Board Review shows recorded course activity and available analysis. Today’s Special A shared daily lineup for players choosing the same mode and difficulty, refreshed at midnight UTC. It draws from the free board pool eligible for phones. The optional Levels Pack expands board access subject to device size and difficulty. It does not make every board available on every device or difficulty. Snack Attack is a family project, cooked and served by the Lew family to share the joys of eating and playing chess. It is ad-free; optional In-App Purchases just help keep it that way. Pull up a chair. Service is on.
