RedDeerGames has officially announced the launch of Family Chess, letting players get their hands on this fresh new twist to the classic chess game on iOS. Featuring lovely hand-drawn visuals across a fantasy setting, the game boasts plenty of mobile optimisations along with stunning animations and an accessible difficulty level for all ages.

In Family Chess, players can look forward to easy-to-use controls as well as the ability to pick from the game's many colourful characters. The local multiplayer feature lets players put their chess skills to the test against their family and friends. And for those who are looking for a bit more of a brain tease, they can take on the NPCs to progress through the levels and learn new skills as they tackle more difficult challenges.

Players will be able to take turns playing on a single device during family game nights. Plus, the cartoon-esque visuals add to the overall charm of the game, with more than 13 languages for international accessibility.
