Martian Chess flips everything you know about chess straight into orbit. Here, pieces don’t “belong” to you because of color—your territory decides who commands what. If a piece is sitting on your side of the board, congratulations, it’s yours… at least until it wanders off into enemy turf and switches allegiances faster than a bored cat.

This elegant abstract strategy game features gorgeous Martian Red pyramids that look like they were smuggled out of a very stylish UFO. It’s easy to learn, surprisingly thinky, and an excellent way to refresh your brain if traditional chess has you stuck in old patterns. Whether you’re expanding your Pyramid Arcade collection or hunting for a clever two-player brain workout, Martian Chess brings cosmic strategy down to Earth—no spacesuit required.
