About this game
Chess Tactics Meet Absolute Chaos!
Je Di Bo is a unique turn-based tabletop strategy game that blends the strict logic of chess with the unpredictability of a card roguelike. Forget memorized openings and predictable lines: here, a single dice roll or a well-timed Karma card can instantly change the rules of the game. Your ultimate goal is the total annihilation of enemy forces. No compromises, just pure tactical victory.
Key Features:
Three Ranks, Endless Possibilities: Control Circles, Squares, and Triangles. Each geometric piece possesses its own unique movement and capturing mechanics. Guide a humble Triangle across the entire board to trigger a "career lift," evolving it into a Square, and eventually into a devastating Circle that strikes in any direction!
Up to 5 Moves Per Cycle: Plan intricate tactical combinations by moving multiple pieces in a single turn. But choose your moments wisely: the moment you attack and capture an opponent's piece, your movement cycle immediately ends.
Karma Cards: Every 7 moves, the Turn of Karma begins. Players draw cards from the deck that can turn the match completely upside down. Activate a "Blitzkrieg," plant a "Spy" deep in enemy territory, or pray that the dice don't select your lane as the "Line of Death."
Two Board Formats & Flexible Timers: Engage in massive battles on the classic 12x12 grid, or switch to the dynamic Split-version (8x8) for quick sessions. Customize the match timer to fit your playstyle, from lightning-fast 10-minute blitzes to deep, thoughtful hour-long games.
Choose Your Game Mode:
PvP Battles: Clash in casual Quick Matches or prove your supremacy in intense Ranked PvP Matches as you climb to the top of the leaderboards.
Competitive Mode (Sport): For purists and tactical masterminds. The impact of randomness is strictly limited as Karma cards can only be drawn 10 times per match. Show off your raw intellect.
Casual Mode (Entertainment): A chaotic, fun-first mode with no limits on Karma card draws. A true test of your ability to adapt to a constantly shifting storm of random events!
Single-Player (PvE): Hone your skills against an adaptive AI bot, practice your setups in Self-Play mode, or embark on a fully realized PvE Campaign.
Full Battlefield Customization
Create a unique atmosphere for your victories! Je Di Bo features deep customization: unlock and swap stunning game board skins, choose stylish 3D models for your geometric pieces, personalize your Karma card designs, and explore beautifully detailed background environments.

Devlog #1: Welcome to Je Di Bo
Hey everyone!We are thrilled to introduce our project, Je Di Bo. It’s a turn-based tabletop strategy game (yes, there’s an actual physical board game you can touch!) inspired by The Art of War, where we attempted to blend the strict positional logic of Сhess and Go with the unexpected twists of card games.If you want to test not only your strategic thinking but also your ability to adapt to situations where standard playbooks don't work, you've come to the right place.What is the main hook of the game?Karma Cards: At first glance, Je Di Bo resembles a classic tabletop strategy. But every 7 moves, Karma Cards can force you to completely rethink your plans. They can trigger a "Line of Death," wiping out an entire row, plant a "Spy" deep in enemy territory, or even force players to swap pieces. Even if the odds are stacked against you, the match isn't over... You always have a chance to turn the tide until the very end.Three Ranks of Pieces: Command Triangles, Squares, and Circles. Simple geometric shapes, yet each serves its own purpose and is essential for victory. And if you run low on higher-rank pieces, "simply" (though it won't be easy!) guide a Triangle to the opposite edge of the board to evolve it into a stronger Square, and a Square into a devastating Circle that strikes in any direction!Up to 5 Moves Per Cycle: Build complex combinations by moving multiple pieces in a single turn. But be careful: the number of attacks per turn is limited, and the last attack always ends your turn and passes it to your opponent.What’s happening right now?We are actively polishing our 3D Alpha build, fine-tuning our AI bot, and preparing the game for its first major external tests. We can't wait to launch them so you can stop just reading about the game and start sharing your hands-on impressions with us!How to participate in testing?We really need your sharp tactical minds and honest feedback!Wishlist Je Di Bo on Steam, follow for updates, and sign up for upcoming playtests.B...Read full article on Community Announcements (Under Andr)AnnouncementsOfficial
