The Board is Yours news & patch notes

• German localization corrections thanks to Daniel da Silva!
• Saved "hide max" upgrades button state across successive runs
• Fix for "Previous Production" text overlapping the production in several languages
• Fixed cases where swipe-buy squares wouldn't trigger
• Fixed "back to menu" text in settings
• Minor fixes in layout and some localized texts not appearing correctly

I can't describe how grateful I am to see so many people playing my game for hours and even finishing it! I was not expecting such a positive reception when I released the game 2 weeks ago.

Thank you also for all the great feedback, especially regarding quality-of-life improvements. I'm hoping to release a first patch soon with a few of these changes.

While waiting for the 1st QoL patch, here are a few (not-so-)secret features you may have missed:

• You can swipe-buy squares of the board! Simply hold LMB to buy a square, then drag across adjacent squares as if you were drawing on the board

• You can press B (on keyboard) to randomly change the color of the board if you don't like the current one

• You can change the transparency of the rice grains in the settings (can be helpful to keep the board visible near the end of the game!)

• There is a fantastic guide to solving the riddle of the demo if you played it, feel free to check it out in the Community hub!

Thanks again, I'm delighted to see so many people enjoying my game, I hope you keep having fun with it!

Oh, and feel free to post screenshots of your best configurations for maximum production per cycle! I heard that some people were able to reach over 100 Q / cycle but I've not seen it yet...

Depending on your playstyle, it can take anywhere from 4 to 20+ hours to finish the game. But no matter how long it takes you, you can now play it entirely on Steam Deck:

• Either with the touchscreen only,

• Or with the virtual cursor if you prefer.

And don't worry: you can switch back to your PC anytime, your save will transfer seamlessly via Steam Cloud!

Chess enjoyers and incremental lovers: It is now time to assemble!

Dive into the chill complexity of this incremental game inspired by the legend of the invention of chess.

I had a lot of fun (and headaches) while developing it, but if at least few people enjoy it, it will already be a success for me.

Feedback is very welcome, and if you enjoy the game, leaving a review would help tremendously!

Thank you so much!

I'm super excited to announce that my game will finally release in 3 days!

These last weeks since the Steam Next Fest demo have been wild, but the game now has everything I wanted and I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. What awaits you:

• Big numbers, obviously! Thousands, Millions, Billions, TRILLIONS, QUADRILLIONS, AND EVEN MORE

• Over 50 prestige perks to unlock and exploit

• 64 squares (like... any regular chessboard)

• More than 30 achievements!

• Constant autosave with Steam Cloud Sync to go seamlessly from a computer to a Steam Deck for instance!

Because, yes: even if it's not verified yet, it's fully playable on Steam Deck!

Oh, and if you finished the demo on any platform, a quick start is waiting for you, but only if you deciphered the message...
