The knight takes the pawn, gets a free move, takes the bishop, gets another free move, takes the king. One turn. Three captures. Board cleared.

The pitch

A different kind of chess for puzzle people.

Standard chess piece movement. No special rules to learn. Every Course is a single board with one goal: eat your way to the king. Each capture gives you another action, so a clean read of the board can turn one turn into a feast.

What's on the menu

500 Courses. One king to eat.

500 Courses made by hand

Across Easy, Normal, and Hard. Each Course is one sharp puzzle.

Feast multipliers up to 50x

Capture in chains and the multiplier climbs. A clean line is worth a lot more than a slow one.

Blitz timer mode

One full-run countdown. Leftover time turns into bonus points at the end.

Today's Special

A fresh challenge every day. Show up, take a bite, see how your line stacks up.

Hall of Feasts high scores

Local high scores on every difficulty tier. Chase your own numbers and try to climb one more spot.

Cozy 4x4 to banquet 14x14

Boards scale from quick four-square snacks to full 14x14 spreads. The board changes size while the chess moves stay the same.

Standard chess movement

Pieces move the way you remember. No new rules, no openings to memorize, no surprise.

Dietary restrictions

Single-player score runs. Progress and high scores live on your device. That's it.

Optional add-ons

Hungry for more?

Thousands of additional Courses

More Courses beyond the 500 free ones, with more variety across every difficulty.

Grandmaster Mode

One-move budget, three-minute Blitz. For players who like the room to be very quiet.

100x Feast Maximum

Raises the Feast ceiling from 50x to 100x. The chain can keep going.

Alternative chess sets

New artwork for the pieces. The board never changes shape.
