CataChess

CataChess is a tactical tabletop game built around wooden craftsmanship, strategic movement across the battlefield, and the physical skill required to make precise shots with miniature catapults.

The playing field and its sides are made from wood and divided into squares along which the knights move. The catapults are entirely handmade and actually launch small balls, turning every shot into a test of physical skill, precision, and timing.

At the beginning of the game, each player places their figure in front of their own gate and positions several wooden cubes across the battlefield. As the game progresses, players move their figures forward while placing additional cubes to create cover and protect their warriors from enemy catapult fire.

When a player reaches a suitable firing position, they can use their catapult to attack opposing figures. The wooden cubes provide cover, allowing players to plan their movement and use the battlefield tactically.

The objective is to successfully move five of your figures through the opponent's gate. Once a player achieves this, their opponent is eliminated.

CataChess combines tactical board movement, physical skill, and real-world mechanics in miniature catapult shooting, making every movement and every shot part of the overall strategy.
