TWINS LION DO BOOKS is a small bookshop located in Tokyo. We have been creating and developing board games in addition to a bookshop.
This year, we launched a board game brand Amatsubu Games. Cooperating with Japanese game designers and illustrators, we are working on games that bring you new experiences.
In this project, we are excited to introduce a modernly remade traditional game to the world.
Tower Chess is a new innovation to the traditional chess game in which you “stack” the pieces instead of capturing them. The most fascinating point is that every piece has a chance of becoming an ace until the game ends.
In regular chess, you can “capture” the opponent’s pieces. In this game, however, you can only stack them up, which allows you to temporarily interrupt the opponent, but their threat never disappears! As the pieces are never removed, you will enjoy a tense and thrilling game until the very end.
Maybe, the bishop slumbering under your pawn is the one to give your king a fatal blow. One mistake could lead the game to suddenly turn around. It is exciting to witness the ambushes under pieces becoming active as the game comes close to the end.
The board of Tower Chess is smaller than regular chess, which allows the game to end quickly. You can enjoy a fast-paced game as the smaller field keeps all the pieces alive.
Tower Chess is suitable for beginners. Even if you are a fan of chess, you could enjoy this new style of chess between your usual matches.
