Chess with Dice!

Hi! Welcome to Chess with Dice! This is my entry to the "Game Makers' Club Competition (2025)" Game Jam.

I'd like to start by saying that, being based in the UK and submitting remotely, I won't be able to collect any prizes, but I still wanted to get some practice making games for jams and getting feedback for my submissions!

The game is simple - take a chess piece, give it a score cost, and roll a dice to see how many points you can spend moving pieces. Winner is whoever can capture the opponents king. This is for people who enjoy chess normally, but might want something more fast paced with an element of chance to kill some time with a friend. 

I feel like there's a lot of opportunity for "house rules" - like saying pawns can't capture kings, or if you're gonna capture, you have to roll a 6, stuff like that. Feel free to play around and see what you can come up with! The only other rule implemented is you can only capture on piece maximum per turn. I also have no idea how en passant would work so it's not in this either. 

Hope you enjoy this one!
