Description — short

3Chess is a three-player hex chess game: one board, three sides, every move a dilemma. Strike one opponent and you hand the game to the other; strike neither and you fall behind. Free browser demo, full game $9.99.

Description — long

3Chess takes chess to three players on a hexagonal board of 127 cells, with three 120°-rotationally-symmetric territories so all three sides play a structurally identical game. It addresses the classic "kingmaker" problem of three-player chess — where an eliminated or hopeless player's choice of whom to attack decides the winner instead of skill — through cascading checkmate (a single move can checkmate two opponents at once), territory-based scoring, and a 20-move endgame rule, keeping games decisive and fair. Play against AI bots, against friends in pass-and-play, or online; try it free in your browser, or buy the full desktop game for a one-time $9.99.

Logos & colours

Use the SVGs — they scale cleanly and carry no font dependency (glyphs are baked as paths). The three-colour version is for dark backgrounds; use the dark variant on light. The three stacked hexes are the “3” — never set a “3” beside the wordmark.
