More about this game
In Spellbound Checkmate, you face off against an enemy commander on an 8x8 grid. Each turn, choose to move like a rook (up to three tiles) or a knight (an L-shape leap). Collect healing and damage runes scattered across the board to restore health or boost your spell power. Once in range (within two tiles), cast a spell to damage your opponent. The duel ends when either you or the enemy commander's health drops to zero.
Tips
- Knight movement lets you leap over occupied paths, making it great for escaping tight spots.
- Collect sapphire runes to add +3 damage to your next spell cast.
- Healing runes restore 6 health, so grab them when your HP drops below the 24 maximum.
FAQ
- How do I attack the enemy?
- You can cast a spell when you are within two tiles of the enemy commander. The spell deals 7 base damage if adjacent, or 5 damage if two tiles away.
- What do the runes do?
- Healing runes restore 6 health points, while damage runes add 3 extra damage to your next spell cast. Runes spawn randomly on empty tiles.
- How does the enemy move?
- The enemy commander also moves using rook or knight rules, prioritizes collecting runes, and will cast a spell if they get within range of you.
