♟️ About the Game

Rise of the Pawn is a turn-based strategy game inspired by chess, where every piece starts as a humble pawn.

Your units earn experience each turn and by defeating enemies. Evolve your pawns into Rooks, Bishops, Knights... or even a King to shift the tide of battle. Your Queen plays a vital support role, summoning new pawns or empowering nearby allies.


👑 Three Ways to Win

  • Checkmate: Capture the enemy King (if it has been created).

  • Annihilation: Eliminate all opposing pieces from the board.

  • Long Live the King: Create your King and survive 10 turns while your opponent fails to do the same.


⚔️ Key Features

  • 🔄 Unique evolution system: Pieces level up and unlock new powers.

  • 🧠 Multiple AI personalities: Aggressive, defensive, or balanced – adapt your tactics accordingly.


🧩 Easy to Learn, Tactical in Depth

Accessible for newcomers, Rise of the Pawn offers true strategic depth. Every match is different: your evolution choices, positioning, and reactions will determine your path to victory.


🚀 Will your pawn rise to become king ?
