Fake Chess: Book of Champions

Chess is a game of vast complexity and a 1500-year history.

Fake Chess is not.

Fake Chess players use a very basic set of rules and mechanics to live out their grandmaster fantasies by acting like serious chess players, engaging in what looks like an intense battle without the burdens of chess strategy, knowledge, or skill.

It's dramatic. It is silly.

It might be a real game, but it's definitely fake chess.

"It's rare that a game makes me laugh out loud. This really is a brilliant game, there's no other word for it."
Alex Rinehart (Cyberrats, Gratitude) on the original Fake Chess

Fake Chess: Book of Champions requires a real chess set.

While the Book of Champions contains 33 new game boards that are fully compatible with the original Fake Chess, players do not need to own the original game to play.
