Sociable · Chess

A clear goal, countless possibilities
Each piece moves in its own way, and the goal is to checkmate your opponent's king. Develop your pieces, look after your own king and consider what your opponent can do next. Sociable's game instructions and interface guide the available moves and the conditions of your match.
Before moving, ask what changed after your opponent's last turn. One careful look can save a piece.
The best part can be the next conversation
You can discuss a clever idea, learn from a mistake or invite a friend to a rematch. Chess gives each conversation a thread to pick up again. Sociable brings that shared activity into your social life, so the connection can continue after the position is settled.
Sociable brings the game and the conversation together: a good move gives you something to talk about, and the next round gives you a reason to return.
