Chessarama Coming April 17th to Nintendo Switch!

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, April 3rd, 2025 – Developer Minimol Games in partnership with SMG Studio are pleased to announce that Chessarama, their unique anthology of original chess-inspired puzzle games, is coming to Switch and PlayStation platforms. Prepare to reimagine chess as you never have before, with eight single-player variations of the classic board game that will force veteran chess aficionados to rewire their brains while also training new players to think like a chess master!

Chessarama is a smorgasbord of chess-inspired single-player games that use chess pieces and their established move sets, then reimagines their goals and themes. Choose a game, quickly learn its rules and play through the campaign, unlock collectibles, and compete against each other on the leaderboards. Endless replayability awaits you. Welcome to Chessarama!

Each game has its own theme, set of rules and original handcrafted levels for you to play! In Dragon Slayer, players must move a pawn to the end of the board where it can slay a mighty dragon, though the dragon attacks the board after every turn, obliterating any unprotected piece. In the feudal Japan-set Lady Ronin, the chess Queen must eliminate every piece on the board in order to get close to the Shogun and assassinate them. And in Soccer Chess you must position your pieces in pursuit of kicking the ball into the goal. Try all these and several more original chess-inspired puzzle games in Chessarama!

“We were thrilled by the love people both in and out of the chess community had for Chessarama upon its launch on PC and Xbox, so we can’t wait to share it with a whole new audience on Switch and PlayStation,” said Raphael Dias, CEO and Game Director at Minimol Games. “Chessarama is more than ‘just another chess game’; it’s a varied puzzle game that tickles the puzzle-solving parts of your brain, regardless of your experience with chess.”
