Arcane Gambit
A tactical card-battler where chess meets deck-building—summon pieces, spend energy, and outplay the board.
About the Game
Arcane Gambit is a turn-based tactical game that fuses chess strategy with card-based gameplay. Between matches you can roam a small hub, then dive into grid-based battles where your cards become units: play a card to summon a chess piece, use classic movement rules to position, and fight with HP + damage through adjacency-based attacks. Each turn you manage a small energy pool (used for card plays and even movement), and spells/terrain cards add the “deck-builder” twist—things like targeted damage, healing, repositioning, and reshaping tiles with elevation and obstacles.
