About this game
CHARK is a chess-inspired deckbuilding roguelike played on a compact 5×5 board. Outsmart and outmaneuver your foes by playing piece-cards to move your King like a chess piece. Each turn offers a critical choice – play it safe or gamble on bonus challenges for a chance to snowball your power! Small advantages stack up to spectacular combos in CHARK. Draft quirky “ Food ” artifacts that bend the rules of chess in your favor, from extra moves to explosive power-ups. What starts as careful strategy can quickly turn into an explosive frenzy as your tiny crown grows into a dominating force. Features: Tactical 5×5 Chess Combat: Navigate a 5×5 board using cards as chess pieces. Plan your moves carefully in a tight space rife with possibilities.

Mix and match effects to create powerful synergies and game-breaking combos. Risk-vs-Reward Challenges: Every turn presents two optional side objectives. Take on these risky challenges to earn multipliers and bonus rewards... or face the consequences if you fail! Short Runs, High Replayability: Each run lasts about 15–25 minutes – easy to pick up, yet deep to master . Perfect for quick sessions that often turn into “just one more run”. Minimalist Design: Clean, minimalist UI and straightforward controls let you focus on the strategy. No complex menus – jump straight into the action.
