The first public playtest of A Wizard-Chess Tournament is open today!
How to join
Go to the Store Page and click "Request Access" in the Playtest button.
I am letting people in every day in batches. When your turn comes, the playtest will appear in your Steam library.
Got in? You can invite a couple of friends directly from the playtest. A Wizard-chess Tournament is better when played against someone you know.
What's in the build
Multiplayer: Local hotseat, LAN, and online ranked play.
Single player modes.
Two wizards with their own spell decks.
Classic Chess with single and multiplayer modes.
Full controller and Steam Deck support. Eight languages.
Not all the final content of the game is in yet, but it is mostly feature complete.
There are a few cosmetic known issues that i'm still working on, mainly UI layout issues.
What we want from you
Which spells feel too strong or never worth casting.
Changes that would make the cards better.
Anything that confused you in your first three games.
Bugs, with the wizard you played and roughly what happened. Screenshots help.
Post in the discussions board here or join me on Discord. I read everything.
One favour
If you enjoy it, please Wishlist the game. It is the single most useful thing you can do for a small title on Steam, and it means you get told the moment the full game releases.
See you at the board.
