I like this a lot. Chess deckbuilder rpg in the vein of the game boy color pokemon tcg games. I've been playing a lot of chess on my phone lately and it was satisfying to find myself deploying some of what I've learned while playing this. Certified day one buy, I think

Checkmage! - does for chess what Balatro did for poker, but without the roguelike elements. instead, it's structured more like the Pokemon TCG game for Gameboy, battling extremely cute lil animal guys in a card/board game with some fun twists on chess. i *highly* recommend this one, it's crazy good!
Checkmage! Demo on Steam
A chess-based strategy game with casual deckbuilding elements. Build your deck by trading cards and battling lovable, hand-drawn characters.

the wellkeeper is one of the last few characters im making for checkmage. he spends his time drawing faces on cardboard and pretending to have friends.
his battles are all randomly generated and its kind of a lategame way to get cards and experiment with weird pieces

not a chess person on average, but a real fan of this! it says "deckbuilding" on the tin but it feels like it's in the Pokemon TCG for the Game Boy way which is a HUGE plus
the tutorial is clear but doesn't hold your hand, and you get to be a furry
