ChessDroids
Chess with gold, items and explosions.
Ranked chess where every move, capture and check earns gold. Spend it mid-game on items that bend the rules: smoke screens, shields, traps and bombs. Elo matchmaking, private rooms, replays. Free in your browser.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I've played chess my whole life. It's perfectly balanced and that's exactly why every game starts to feel the same. The best move is always the "correct" move. Theory wins. But I always wondered what would happen if chess could have some "extras"?
So I used AI to build ChessDroids: Chess with robots, items, gold and explosions.
Every move you make earns gold, and you spend it mid-match on items that bend the rules. That creates a decision chess never had: do you play aggressive early to farm gold faster, or play patient and save for one game-changing item? Suddenly the correct move isn't always the best move.
The whole game was developed by AI and I used ChatGPT to generate the icons, lore, logos, etc.. Still chess at heart. if you can read a board, you can play. But the rulebook won't save you here.
It's live at play.chessdroids.com
One question for you: what item would YOU add to chess? Best answer might actually end up in the game 👀
