Experimenting Off Board: Learn and exploit a dynamic reserve system that lets you store extra chess pieces off-board. Deploy them at the perfect moment to catch your adversary off guard.

Every element of Gambonanza works in unhinged harmony to help you build the ultimate strategy to overcome a roster of unforgiving boss challenges!
