How it works

Real chess rules. Brick fans on the board. Bragging rights are on the line. Act like it.

📣Trash talk on every capture

Capture a fan and the game pauses for a one-liner, like the Radio Caller blaming the refs or Grandpa bringing up 1984 again. Turn it off any time for regular chess.

🏆Fan scoreboard

Pick Blue fan or Red fan. Every player scores a point for their own fans after 2 moves each, whichever color they play. The winner gets a bonus point to give to either side. The board freezes at kickoff on November 7.

🏠House Divided

Put the board on a TV, everyone joins Blue or Red on their phone, and each turn the game picks a teammate at random to move. Works for one family or a whole ward party.

House Divided in 3 steps

  1. Open this page on a TV or laptop. Choose Family Play, then House Divided, then Create game.
  2. Everyone scans the code on their phone and picks Blue or Red. No accounts needed.
  3. Play, laugh and share. When it's over, share the win card so the losing side never hears the end of it.
