Choose your battles wisely!

If you want to host a game, you can choose between a private game (share the Game Code with others) or a public game which will be displayed in the lobby for anyone to join.

Your Game Name is your public ID that the host and other players can see, and it must be unique across all Battles Royale accounts, not just that game.

The four available Types move as follows

• Pawns can move one space in any direction
• Bishops can move any number of spaces diagonally
• Rooks can move any number of spaces horizontally or vertically
• Knights can move one+two spaces in any direction, making L shapes
• Without a Type and Color selected, you will be an observer

Your playpiece will be shown with the purple highlight in the first position. Pay attention to what your piece looks like to find it quickly when the game starts. Your playpiece in the game will also have the same purple highlight to help identify you vs. another player who may have chosen the same Type and Color. The color does not affect gameplay.

During the game, just click/tap once on a valid space to move there. Do not first click/tap on your own playpiece.

The random obstacles you will see on the board once the game starts only block players from landing on that space; they do not block you from moving past them.

You can create an account to save your favourite Type and Color to save time, or jump in without an account.

If you are the Host, you will be able to start the game at any time. It is up to you to determine that everyone has joined and is ready.
