A very fun short experience that plays with chess. The wacky rules are super fun to figure out and adapt to. Even though it's tough at the start I had a lot of fun!

Very cute and well-designed lil chess game

King of the Bridge is pretty fun.
Learning all the bizarre rules and learning how to abuse them is a lot of fun, and the game has made me laugh more than a few times.
The extra achievements are also fun to get, and some of them are a real challenge. Definitely worth the 3 bucks if you like chess, or if you don't. You don't actually have to know how to play chess to play the game, although it does help.

A fun silly little game.
I just wish there were more rules really.


Very cute, very goofy, watched someone play this, then forced my friend too. 10/10 would become king again

Very good for what it is. I wish it got a little bit weirder but can't really complain for the price.

Very clever game. The value proposition isn't something I can accurately way from any experience, being that I'm borrowing this game from a friend's account, but I'd say that $3.25 (my region's pricing) is a definitely suitable price for what you get out of it. The game is clever in a way that a lesser designer might stumble beyond the initial introductory phase of a player's experience, but King of the Bridge continues to deliver in spades post it's "gotchas" running out. It's gist is about all I can say without spoiling it too much, where you play a wacko version of chess without knowing all the rules until they're relevant. It's a pleasant brain teaser and well worth the time I put in. (I got both the bad and good ending.)

Cute little puzzle game, but way too short and non-replayable.
To be completely fair it is replayable, but it is not really worth it, at least in my opinion; after an hour and a half I got bored.
Regardless, it is still a nice and fun 30-60 min game.

exactly how I played chess against my cousins when I was a kid making up every rule as I go through fun times. also the twist at the end of this... oh my god like I'm gonna be thinking about it for the rest of the year nothing compares

more chess should be like Goblin Chess

Fun little chess clone with a decent hook. Graphics were charming, concept was interesting and quick to learn and it was priced well for a short little experience.

You play chess against a demon/troll thing. But your opponent sometimes cheats, giving you the opportunity to call them out as a cheater. The trick is there are some unique rules to this game conveyed to you through a rule book. Rules are obscured until they happen on the field meaning you'll probably fail a few times as you learn the rules. I legitimately became consumed with beating the troll after he cheated against me so many times, or did things that were 'legal' but I wrongfully called him out which results in an instant game over. Really started throwing myself against the wall once I became engrossed.

I spent a little over an hour beating it my first time, then tinkered around a few more times for another hour. Definitely worth the price of entry. I saw this is a solo indie devs first release and I hope it does well for them since it's such a solid first game.
