Spell Chess
Spell Chess is an exciting variant of the classic chess game that introduces powerful spells to enhance your gameplay. With these spells, you can strategically take control of the board and gain an advantage over your opponent.
Spells
In Spell Chess, you have access to two spells: Freeze and Jump. Each spell can significantly impact the game, providing new ways to outmaneuver your opponent.

Freeze | The Freeze spell allows you to freeze a 3x3 section of the board. Pieces within this area cannot move during your opponent's next turn. 📝 In 3-player and 4-player variants, any piece that moves into a frozen area will also become frozen.
|
Jump | The Jump spell lets you jump over a selected square, which may contain either your piece or an opponent's. This allows you to capture a piece behind the selected square, including the opponent's king.

Mechanics
Both spells have a cooldown period of 3 full turns. After using a spell, you must wait for 3 turns before casting it again.
The spell icon will appear greyed out during the cooldown period. Green bars on the spell icon indicate how many turns are left until the spell is available again. Once the green bar is fully charged, the spell is ready to use.
Rules
You can win the game either by checkmating your opponent or by capturing their king.
As in standard chess, you cannot castle through or into check.
