CHARK is a chess roguelike about risk, synergies, and precise calculation. Build combos from piece-cards, take two moves per round, survive the enemy’s response, and hit the score target to advance. Every choice is tempo, position, and cash for upgrades.
Controls
Each round you see three cards but may play only two. Click a card to reveal all legal moves on the 5×5 board. Shift, set up an exchange, or force a tactic—then enemies step toward you. If you end your turn in danger, you lose a life. After each level you earn money, plus a bonus for unused hands. Spend it in the Shop on Artifacts: they bend the rules in your favor and open new lines of play
