Developed by Damian Sommer | Last updated: May 10, 2024
Chesh is a strategy game app, developed by Damian Sommer, available on iOS and Android since its release in October 2015. The updated version 1.1 is now available to download, compatible with iOS 7.0+ and Android 10+. Before downloading this app, let's quickly review what Chesh has to offer.
About Chesh
It’s like chess, only not at all.
Chesh is a game of strategy, memory, and luck. Every Chesh game is exploring all new territory. Half the game is simply learning what you can do.
“[Chesh] is surrendering your expertise, flying blind in a familiar territory.” – Zack Kotzer, Killscreen
“Chesh makes Chess look like Checkers” – Raigan Burns, co-creator of N++
"i really like chesh" – Michael Brough, creator of 868-HACK

What's new in version 1.1
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Two things in this update:
1. There's now an alternative win condition that can be selected. Royal Elimination means you lose once all your Royal pieces are destroyed. Piece Elimination is traditional Chesh, where you must eliminate a number of your opponent's pieces to win. They both feel similar, but the slight difference in rules can lead to very different situations!
2. There's also a flip mode for playing with 2 players. If flip mode is turned on, then the top player's pieces will be flipped! This will also slightly adjust where that player is touching if someone is using their iDevice upside down. This means the player on the other side of the iDevice won't misclick as often! Use this if you're playing Chesh across from another person.

Review: Careful! Touch rules!
Perhaps many will like this, but Chesh operates by touch rules. You touch the piece, you GOT to play it....

Review: What are the win conditions?
That should be explained someplace!
