Humanity had always struggled against the vastness of the cosmos, bound by the immutable laws of physics. Even as technology reached its peak, the stars remained impossibly distant, each voyage a slow crawl across the void. That changed with the discovery of Quantum Entanglement Travel.
By threading space itself with Entanglement Threads, distance became irrelevant.
A ship could vanish from one point in the universe and reappear light-years away in an instant. For the first time, interstellar expansion was no longer a question of centuries, but moments.
But the human mind was never meant to withstand the transition. Every attempt at sending living beings through the entanglement process ended in neural collapse. The answer, scientists concluded, was not in improving the technology, it was in improving the traveller.
Thus, the Gemini Project was born.
01
The Primex (Your Key to Victory)
Replacing the traditional King, the Primex is more than just a piece to defend, it’s an active force in battle. Push your opponent’s Primex into a Rift to claim extra points, or manoeuvre your own to safety while amassing power. The Primex also possesses a unique ability: it can summon extra Pawns from the Ascension Rank, allowing for reinforcements at crucial moments.
02
These spectral soldiers teleport between the board’s corners using mysterious Rifts, creating unpredictable threats across the battlefield. They can’t be taken lightly, mastering their movement unlocks powerful offensive and defensive plays.
03
Unlike any other piece, Monoliths cannot capture nor be captured, but they can push adjacent pieces. Whether used to block attacks, control space, or disrupt an opponent’s plans, Monoliths bring a new layer of positioning and board control to the game.
04
The Ascension Rank is your reserves and it serves a crucial role in Pawnstorm. When your Primex is stood on the Charge Core, it gains the ability to summon additional Pawns from beyond the rift. These newly materialized pawns emerge directly onto the home ranks, giving you extra units to control space, attack, or set up game-changing plays.
Enter a new dimension of strategy with Pawnstorm, a bold and dynamic twist on the classic game of chess. Played on a compact 5x5 grid, this variant introduces Phantom Pawns, elusive pieces capable of teleporting across the board through mysterious rifts, creating unexpected tactical opportunities.
Adding to the challenge are Monoliths, immovable sentinels that disrupt movement and control the flow of battle. Unlike traditional chess pieces, Monoliths can’t capture or be captured, but they can push other pieces, reshaping the board with every turn.
Mastering Phantom Chess requires sharp intuition, bold sacrifices, and creative manoeuvring. Will you harness the power of the rifts and outwit your opponent, or will your strategy be blocked by an immovable force?
Prepare for a new kind of checkmate!
