A downloadable applied game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

What is this?

DIY Chess is an applied board game developed for the 1st year game designers at HKU. The problem this game solves is that 2nd year game designers don't feel confident in group projects. The game solves that by providing a playful introduction to the skill of balancing!

How do I use it?

1. Create two balanced decks


2. Let the other player choose a deck. You play the other.

3. Play some rounds and iterate!
