Description
It’s like chess, only not at all.
Chesh is a game of strategy, memory, and luck. Every Chesh game is exploring all new territory. Half the game is simply learning what you can do.
“[Chesh] is surrendering your expertise, flying blind in a familiar territory.” – Zack Kotzer, Killscreen
“Chesh makes Chess look like Checkers” – Raigan Burns, co-creator of N++
"i really like chesh" – Michael Brough, creator of 868-HACK

What’s New
Version 1.1
This app has been updated by Apple to use the latest Apple signing certificate.
Two things in this update:
1. There's now an alternative win condition that can be selected. Royal Elimination means you lose once all your Royal pieces are destroyed. Piece Elimination is traditional Chesh, where you must eliminate a number of your opponent's pieces to win. They both feel similar, but the slight difference in rules can lead to very different situations!
2. There's also a flip mode for playing with 2 players. If flip mode is turned on, then the top player's pieces will be flipped! This will also slightly adjust where that player is touching if someone is using their iDevice upside down. This means the player on the other side of the iDevice won't misclick as often! Use this if you're playing Chesh across from another person.
Ratings and Reviews
The Computer is known to spazz
The A.I. within this game will take any chance it can get to take a piece of yours, especially if it won't out their piece in danger. However, the A.I. seems to not value their royals, as they will be more than happy to send them into a high risk situation. The A.I. is still a challenge, nonetheless.
Great concept but win conditions broken
I love how every time you open a new game no one really knows what will happen and there’s a sense of mystery as you try to put me over your opponent. It seems like it would have infinite replay-ability.
The only problem is that the mystery also extends to how the game is won. Every time I’ve played the game has been going great as we moved pieces trying to figure it out when it ends seemingly randomly. This would probably get 5 stars if I had some idea of how to win but as is it becomes unplayable really fast.
So far I’ve won 3 games, 1 where I took a single royal pice to end it, 1 that didn’t end with the royal pice but ended with taking some random pice, and 1 where I didn’t even take a pice in my last move. I understood that it’s supposed to be confusing but this is too much and there needs to at least be an explanation of how someone won after a game is over if it can’t be listed before. I will change my review when the game is fixed.
Solid Gold
