Background:
Archon is chess with a difference. In this game the pieces don't simply sit there waiting to be moved, they have a mind of their own, not to mention there are different pieces other than what you might expect. The game is still very much about strategy but you'll have to adapt any traditional methods of playing to this new and exciting version.

Gameplay:
Moving the chess pieces is all about strategy, as with regular chess certain pieces can only move in certain directions while others can move as far as the edge of the board. Killing your opponent's pieces is done the same way as in regular chess.
Features:
  • Traditional chess but with a twist
  • Different pieces
