The Chess Variants Club

Hi!

Nice to see you here.

My name is Raphael and I am the Creative Director at Minimol Games. For a long time I've been trying to create "game-like chess experiences" I'd love to play.

All started with the Zen Chess Series, then Knight Swap, Hang The Kings, Unlock The King... and, most recently, Knight's Retreat.

Now is time to bring to reality our biggest project to date: The Chess Variants Club.

I am a great enthusiast of minimalist design, and I am very happy with the ambience we are creating to this game.

And as a chess player I am very happy to create a game mostly (but not solely) based on famous Chess Variants.

There are several incredibly interesting chess variants I believe everyone should play at least once!

And if it is worthy playing, it is certainly worthy playing in a minimalist, beautifully designed chess board. That is exactly what we are aiming for in this game.

You can wishlist it right here:

Kind regards,
Raphael

Knight's Retreat is here.

Can you play chess blindfolded? (another NEW game released!)

Hi all!

Thanks a lot for all the support you've given to the Zen Chess Series. Today, we are releasing a new game in the series.

For decades, professional chess players have been mesmerizing the world with their ability of playing chess blindfolded. In Zen Chess: Blindfold Masters you will be able to experience being one of them, by solving chess puzzles without seeing the pieces.

  • Enjoy a minimalist, beautifully designed chess board and pieces;
  • Solve 150 chess puzzles, varying from Mate-in-One to Mate in-Four problems;
  • Simulate the incredible experience of playing chess blindfolded in a minimalist and meditative game experience.


Can you memorize each board and find the moves that solve the puzzle when the pieces are no longer visible?

Give it a try and show yourself your abilities go well beyond you have imagined.
