In Take, you navigate a 4-by-4 chess board, capturing matching pieces to level them up to the next piece. Be careful not to trap yourself in a position without any possible moves! Take! is easy to pick up and difficult to master, providing for endless enjoyment whether you're an avid strategist intent on reaching the golden king, or just passing time at the bus stop. Some pieces are familiar, others (like the astropawn!) are never-before-seen. This game is meant for both chess enthusiasts and those who have never touched a knight in their life!
