You are but a simple pawn. Destined to be sacrificed for a gambit. No...you are different. Out of place even. You, along with your ragtag group of weirdos, defy fate and established roles. Defeat the Gambit and reclaim your destiny

This is a turn-based strategy game inspired by chess—but it’s not actual chess. You build a small team of pieces made up of Attackers and Supporters, each with unique roles and abilities.

Battles happen in waves. Your goal in each wave is simple: defeat all enemies on the board. After clearing a wave, your pieces gain a new ability, making your team stronger and opening up new strategies as the game progresses. The first turn alternates every wave.

Controls:

-Left click and drag to aim

-Right click to cancel aiming

-Click End Turn on the left side to end your turn

-Hover over board pieces to show more info

- You can attack once and use an ability once per turn

About

This game was made for the Queble Jam 2026. We fixed as many game breaking bugs as possible. In the spirit of competition, we didn't fix its unfinished state. We really wanted to finish in time, but we didn't so we uploaded what we had.  Our idea was unique but we overscoped. We left in a debug feature so you can see the end of the game. [Backspace] destroys the piece you hovered. Sorry for the game breaking bugs. Thank you for commenting, thank you for playing, and thank you everyone that rated us.
