Steam Store description

Free Chess Free Chess is a free physics based chess simulator where you are free to play the game of chess with the freedom of however you like. (Have we mentioned free enough?) With the use of physics simulation, move pieces just as you would on a real chess board, with the added benefit of playing with friends across the world! With many different settings and themes for your chess sets the game is always pretty to look at! Take the game up a notch and invite multiple friends to duke it out without limitations. Invent your own rules and play however you want! [Warning: This game is PHYSICS BASED, this means you CAN knock pieces over while you play. Please check the controls in the pause menu when playing to learn how to avoid doing this (hold right click while you move the piece holding left click to lift pieces over other pieces). Also note this game can be played very silly where you can move the opponents pieces and even skip your turn and be generally silly. If this isn't your jam, please don't leave a negative review detailing how you knocked over all your pieces and hated the physics aspect of the game, this is how our game was intended to be played]
