Card Chess

Card Chess is a free and open-source online PvP strategy game blending classic chess with card gameplay. Inspired by chess and Magic: The Gathering, each player starts with just a king and a custom 60-card deck that lets you deploy pieces, destroy enemy pieces, draw cards, and tactically control the board.In every match, strategic card play and traditional chess movement combine: use cards to influence piece deployment and board state, then move your pieces wisely to trick your opponent and even to capture their king directly.
