WATAKU

A new abstract strategy game inspired by Chess and Go.

Build · Crown · War

Build your kingdom.
Crown your Kings.
Go to war.

War from the very first move

The board is only the beginning.

Wataku combines familiar tactical movement with kingdom building, connectivity, and more than one way to win.

01

Formation

Both armies begin in a set formation, already at War. White moves first.

02

Traverse

Any piece but a King can slip past its own lines in a straight Traverse.

03

Kingdom

Lead two independent Kings, deploy your reserves, and checkmate either enemy King to win.
