CHARK is a smooth Balatro-inspired chess roguelike and I've become an instant fan (www.gamingonlinux.com)

I really need to ruin my life already and get Balatro cos Luck Be A Landlord is so much fun. Adding chess into the concept sounds absolutely amazing

This is cool. It needs a lot of polish though. I hope it does well.

I'm a big fan of Really Bad Chess, trying to puzzle myself out of bad situations it's quite enjoyable

Can you play it online anywhere?

I had previously signed up to a site to try to play that chess precursor game with elephants and chariots and cavalry, and castles, but the site did not work for me.

I think the actual game was lost this was like a recreation of how they thought it was played in that case, the one that evolved in India before chess forget what it's called.

The bottom of the article had a link to play it on itch: https://protzz.itch.io/chark

Have you played? This or that other I referenced?

In any case I think I'm going to get back into chess here. Have been off of it for a couple years. I had a high score and started just quit

I haven't played either of them, I don’t have the patience for chess. Good luck though!
