The Board is Yours

The Board is Yours is a strategic chess-based incremental game: buy squares, unlock upgrades, and chain synergies through defended pieces. It plays as a demanding idle game where you’ll constantly reposition pieces and optimize your production until the board belongs to you.

A WAY-TOO-COMPLEX INCREMENTAL GAME

It looks like chess, it feels like an idle game, but it plays like: "How do I even optimize this?". This new take on incremental games forces you to actually think about the perks you buy and adapt how you play in consequence.

HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY

Buy squares of the board, chess pieces, and place your pieces to generate resources.
Focus way too hard on seemingly unsolvable optimization problems and question your sanity.
Go grab a coffee. Maybe take a nap.
Come back to billions and invest in upgrades to gain more.
Stack prestige perks and restart with new ways to gain even more. Always more.

And repeat, until the board belongs to you.
