For over 1,500 years, the battlefield tactics of Chaturanga have challenged generations of strategists with an elegant system of movement, positioning, and adaptation. Through centuries of change, the game evolved into what we now know as chess.

But now, a new evolution is at hand.

Strange and varied creatures from the world of modern tabletop gaming have seized control of the ancient armies. Each faction brings its own powers, abilities, and strategic identity, transforming a timeless battlefield into a constantly evolving tabletop experience.

Built upon the movement system that evolved into modern chess, Invasion preserves the elegant foundation of the classic game while transforming it into a rich tabletop experience. Players choose from unique factions inspired by popular mechanics such as engine building, deck building, pattern creation, resource management, and more. Every faction offers new strategic possibilities and a different way to play.

Whether you're a chess player, a tabletop gamer, or completely new to both, Invasion is easy to learn and rewarding to master. The pieces move as they always have, but victory comes from the creative use of your faction's powers, resources, and abilities.

The battlefield is ancient.
The invasion is not.
