Why you'll stay
Strategy with a heartbeat
Everything in Dice & Chess is built around one feeling: the roll that changes the plan, and the plan that survives the roll.
A fresh take on chess
The dice decide which pieces can move, so every turn is a brand-new puzzle. Memorized openings won't save you — reading the board will.
Ranked arenas
Win trophies, climb 24 arenas from Wood to Champion, and earn gold after every ranked victory. Matchmaking pairs you with rivals at your level.
Fair, server-verified play
Every online move, roll, and result is validated by our authoritative game server. No board hacks, no clock tricks, no client-side dice.
Drop-proof matches
Lost signal mid-game? Your match stays alive on the server. Reconnect and pick up the fight exactly where you left it.
More than dice chess
Classic chess with full rules, battles against Stockfish AI from level 1 to 10, checkers, and tiered puzzle runs — all in one app.
Built for quick battles
Chess clocks with turn-end increments keep games sharp. A full ranked battle fits inside a coffee break.

FAQ
Questions, answered
The things players ask us most — about the dice, the launch, and fairness.
It's chess with one twist: at the start of your turn you roll three dice, and each die face corresponds to a piece type — from pawn to king. You may only move pieces whose type matches an unused die. Instead of checkmate, you win by actually capturing the enemy king.
Very much so. The dice decide which pieces may move — you decide where, and that's where games are won. Great players plan for several dice outcomes at once, keep their king safe from bad rolls, and convert lucky turns ruthlessly. Luck deals the hand; skill plays it.
The game is in active development and the online systems — ranked matchmaking, arenas, and secure game servers — are already running. Store release on iOS and Android is coming soon; follow the News page for launch announcements.
Yes — free to download and play. Optional cosmetics like board themes, piece skins, and dice designs support development. There is no pay-to-win: dice are rolled on the server and rewards follow the same rules for everyone.
Yes, Dice & Chess is an online-first game — your profile, progress, and rewards live safely on our servers. Solo modes like AI battles and puzzles, plus local two-player hot-seat games, are played on a single device.
Of course. Classic Chess with the full ruleset is a first-class mode — play online, pass-and-play on one device, or spar against the Stockfish engine across ten difficulty levels.
