Balatro started another clear trend in gaming, with multiple games spawning like it and CHARK seems like it could end up being a real gem.

    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.

    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.

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