♟️ Pawned

A browser-based chess variant on a 6×5 board, where you take classic pieces into unique campaigns, puzzles, and timed challenges. Learn to master the Bishop, Knight, and Rook in focused modes before facing full armies.

⚠ Disclaimer

This is an early version of the game made under time constraints. Most core gameplay works, but:

  • Some UI elements and text are misplaced or incorrect.

  • Victory/defeat screens may display the wrong outcome at times.

  • Certain rules are unfinished or not implemented correctly.

  • Some levels (especially in Time Mode and Puzzle Mode) may currently be unbeatable.

Your feedback is appreciated while the game continues to improve!
