Place groups of pieces on a chess board, watch them all attack each other simultaneously, and avoid filling the board, or else it's "game over". You get points for clearing pieces by having them get taken (according to the usual chess attack patterns). Once the board is too full to place another group of 3, the game is over.

Controls:

WASD - move your group of new pieces around

F - place your pieces (requires an open row of 3)

E - spend 5 points to discard and get a new "hand" of pieces
