Goblin Chess is chess where losing pieces can be the best strategy.

You already know how to play chess. Now imagine that losing your bishop on purpose could be the smartest move you've ever made — because every piece your opponent captures fills your war chest with Goblin Points, and those points buy cards that rewrite the rules mid-game.

Teleport your king across the board. Turn a rook into a cannon that captures by ricocheting off your own pieces. Play a pawn that switches sides after it makes a kill. Every match starts with both players secretly drafting the laws of that game — will the board be a cylinder where pieces wrap edge to edge? A reflection chamber where attacks bounce off walls? Will you be facing a horde of 36 pawns?

And when your opponent plays a card that threatens to flip the board? You don't just sit there. You negotiate. Counter-threat them with something worse. Bribe them with captured pieces placed back on the board. Bluff. Fold. Call.

It's chess, poker, and a card game fused together — with 100+ mutant pieces, 20+ starting configurations, and a different game every single time. If you've ever felt like chess was too solved, too rigid, or just not chaotic enough — this is the version where you are never down until the very last move.
