DiceMate: Dice Chess

Chess, but the dice decide.

Roll 3 dice every turn. Each die names a piece: pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen or king. Move one piece per die, in any order. There is no check and no mate: capture the king to win. Luck keeps every game alive, and skill decides who wins over time.

WORLD TOUR
• 196 stops, one in every country, each with an AI champion of its own. Every champion is clearly labeled as AI.
• Earn up to 3 stars per stop: win fast, keep your queen, lose few pieces or save a die.
• Finish a region to unlock its continent's dice set, and face the World Champion at the very end.

PLAY ONLINE
• Rated quick match against real people, with live turn clocks of 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes.
• Play 10 placement games, then climb ranks named after the chess pieces, from Pawn to Grandmaster.
• Open a room and share its 6-character code, or challenge your friends to a live game.
• No chat, just friendly preset emotes. Players can be reported and blocked.

THE DAILY ROLL
Every player gets the same dice against the same champion each day. Score points for winning fast and keeping your material, build a streak, climb today's leaderboard, and share your result as an emoji grid.

MAKE LUCK READABLE
• Threat Meter: the exact chance that your opponent can capture your king next turn, calculated over every possible roll.
• Luck vs Skill: after each game, see how much the dice helped and how well you played them.
• Guided moves: only the pieces you can move light up, and a tap explains why a move is not allowed under the use-every-die rule.

MORE WAYS TO PLAY
• Roll Puzzles: capture the king with the dice you are given. 300 puzzles, one solution each.
• Pass & Play on one phone.
• An interactive tutorial wins your first game in about two minutes.

FAIR BY DESIGN
No bets, no stakes, no loot boxes, no paid rerolls and no ads. Nothing you buy changes the dice. Cosmetic dice and boards have a fixed price and do exactly what they show. Pips, the Shop's coin, are earned by playing and are never sold.
