Strategy

Winning isn’t about brute force; it’s about positioning. Keep your high‑rank pieces protected while hunting for vulnerable targets. Early game, focus on spreading your pieces to control the center. Mid‑game, force your opponent into a corner where a single turn can end the match. Late game, calculate every possible capture – a single mistake can let the enemy king slip through.

Progression is tied to a hidden score system. Each successful capture adds points, unlocking new board skins and visual effects. The more you play, the more the game reveals its layered depth. Master the strategy of piece hierarchy, and you’ll dominate every match.
