About Hypercarry ChessTM
Hypercarry Chess is a browser-based indie chess variant where one empowered piece can reshape the entire game.
Choose a hypercarry, build your army around it, and customise kings, queens, rooks, bishops, knights, pawns, or original champions with distinctive buffs. Balance that power through handicaps, sacrifices, and alternate rulesets, then play tactical matches on the same device or against the bot. You can also review positions, explore candidate lines, and personalise the battlefield with custom pieces, boards, backgrounds, cut-ins, cursors, and music.
The battlefield lies silent.
