Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate

About This Game

👑💥♟️♟️♟️

Chess, but you replace your entire army with a royal shotgun.

The Black King has been dispossessed of everything...

Everything except their royal shotgun.

His wrath shall be his undoing, yet he cares not.

In his dark folly, bits of white pieces will fly.

A unique turn-based strategy roguelite based on the timeless checkboard classic.

👑💥♟️♟️♟️

more unique new cards!
