Chess For Millennials

Description:

The game of chess is a classic dating back more then 1500 years. But can it be improved or at least modernized? My goal was to find out.

I wanted to keep the essence of the game of chess, mainly the iconic pieces and the idea of strategically thinking ahead.

In my attempt to modernize this game, I realized I was doing something no one wanted and no one would really care about, the ultimate millennial move, hence the game's title.

How to play:

Drag and drop pieces down onto the board and click play.

If you click on a piece on the board, you can a list of options including selling, and moving pieces.

Pieces can only be moved once per round.

If Pawns are moved 8 times, they can be promoted to any other piece.

If a piece gets destroyed, it is lost forever.

This game was made in less then 48 work hours for the Miz game jam using the 1 bit Kenney art pack.

This game was originally meant to be a web build, but due to many issues including not getting screen scaling to work with click detection. This game must be downloaded to play and enjoy.
