Chess, checkers, and backgammon have been played for generations. Quess takes the games you know and brings them to a four-player board, where every move can change the game for everyone.
WHAT IS QUESS?
Chess. Checkers. Backgammon.
Three games built around strategy, timing, positioning, and knowing when to make your move. Quess brings the classic foundations of chess, checkers and backgammon into a four-player format. The original rules remain at the core, with only the specific adjustments needed to accommodate four players and the expanded board. With three opponents making decisions around you, every move creates new possibilities and new problems to solve.
“Familiar games. A four-player board you haven’t played before”
In a traditional two-player game, you know where the threat is coming from. Quess gives you three opponents.
With three opponents on the same board, every decision can create an opportunity for someone else.
Every player changes the board.
Every position matters.
No two games have to unfold the same way.
ELEMENTS / CHARACTERS
“Four players. Four elements. One board.”
The four Elemental Domains—Fire Red, Water Blue, Earth Green and Air Grey—give each player a distinct identity within the Quess universe. Each Element represents its own philosophy and visual identity, while the underlying gameplay rules remain the same.
Fire represents constant change and duality the forces of destruction and creation, together with the pursuit of knowledge.
Water represents supreme adaptability and formlessness the ability to flow with change and strike with force when the moment demands it.
Steady, Strong, Unshakable. Own the Board.
Swift, Unpredictable, Unstoppable
THE THREE GAMES
You know the classics. But Quess doesn’t simply put them on another board.
The dice create the opportunity. What you do with your position determines what happens next. BaQugammon brings the race, risk, and unpredictability of classic backgammon into the Quess world.
The heart of the Quess experience. Strategy meets four-player competition as every move changes the possibilities around the board.
Think you’ve spotted the perfect move?
Look again. CheQuers brings the tactical tension of checkers into the Quess universe—with a new board, new opponents, and new ways to play.
“THREE CLASSICS INSPIRED THE IDEA. QUESS BUILT THE WORLD AROUND IT.”
“More players create more possibilities—and a very different kind of game.”
“Support Quess on Kickstarter and help bring the physical game from finished design to the game table.”
Quess is a four-player strategy game inspired by the strategic thinking, competition, and gameplay traditions of chess, checkers, and Backgammon.
