One card can change the game. Make extra moves, swap sides and outthink your opponent. Pre-order Wildcard Chess and be ready to play at launch.
Play chess with a hand of cards that can turn the game around.
Move several pieces in one turn. Play Flip to swap sides with your opponent. Turn the cards in your hand into a plan they never saw coming. In Wildcard Chess, the goal is still checkmate. The way you get there has a whole new twist.
PLAY THE BOARD. PLAY YOUR HAND.
Every turn brings two things to think about: the position on the board and the cards in your hand. Set up an attack, hold a card for the right moment or rethink your plan when your opponent changes the game.
DISCOVER WHAT YOUR CARDS CAN DO
Move cards let you move up to four different pieces in a turn. Take 2 gives you two moves and two new cards. Flip swaps the sides you control. A Wildcard lets you choose the next card color and make a move.
Every chess move must still be legal. Give check and your turn ends, giving your opponent the chance to respond.
FACE REAL PLAYERS
Challenge other players online or invite a friend to a match. Read the board, watch the cards and find your moment to turn the game around.
PRACTICE AT YOUR OWN PACE
Play offline against the computer. Choose your difficulty and time control, or practice without a clock. Explore the tutorial and card guide to learn how Wildcard Chess works.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Personalize your game with chess pieces, board themes and card designs. Customization is cosmetic: your look never changes what your cards can do.

Your next move is in your hand. Pre-order Wildcard Chess and be ready to play at launch.
