addedAndroid versionThe Android version is a paid download. I want to be honest about that: Chess Kingdom is still a small solo-developed game, and with around 1,000 units sold so far, I cannot realistically give away a full second platform version for free. The mobile version helps support continued development of the game, and I really appreciate everyone who understands that. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chesskingdoms.app What is not yet available in the Android version is the new and improved AI Chat functionalities, that might be to heavy for mobile and the Online matches. Due to server costs that is simply not possible at the moment.

Press it and Chess Kingdom shrinks the current game down to a small always-on-top board window, so you can keep playing on the side while doing other things.

Cross-Save

The Android version supports Save Sync, so you can link your PC save and continue your Chess Kingdom progress on mobile. Start on Steam, continue on Android, then come back to PC when you want the bigger screen again. That said though, if there are any issues with the Android version please let me know!

Press it and Chess Kingdom shrinks the current game down to a small always-on-top board window, so you can keep playing on the side while doing other things. Perfect for when you are technically in a meeting and absolutely, definitely paying attention.

What’s included

  • Chess Kingdom is now available on Android

  • PC and Android saves can be linked with Save Sync

  • Continue your progress across both platforms

  • Mini Mode button is available automatically in every PC match

  • Mini Mode keeps your current match open as a small board-only window
