About Trap Chess™ and XPlayce™

Trap Chess™ is a chess-based game from XPlayce™ that adds hidden traps to the board, creating new risks and strategic decisions around every move.

What Is Trap Chess™?

Trap Chess™ keeps the movement and objective of chess while adding hidden Chess Piece Traps and Landmines. Captures and landing squares can trigger traps, so players must account for information they cannot fully see.

The official rules page explains the trap order, Fizzle protection, Game Mode 1, and the Divider rules for Official Game Modes 2 and 3.

From the Free App to the Physical Board Game

The free Trap Chess™ app is the easiest way to learn and experience the core hidden-trap mechanics on iPhone and Android.

The physical Trap Chess™ board game is the main product and offers the deeper tabletop experience. The Divider is an add-on that unlocks additional game modes by introducing mid-game trap placement.
