Games Like Chess – But Faster

Why Many Chess Players Want Something Faster

Chess is brilliant, but classical games can last an hour or more. Many players love the intellectual battle yet need a format that fits modern life – quick sessions without losing strategic depth.

What Makes a Game Feel Like Chess

  • Pure skill – no randomness deciding outcomes
  • Long-term planning over several moves
  • Psychology – reading the opponent matters
  • Clear rules, deep mastery

Where Totemancer Fits

Totemancer keeps the mental feeling of chess while compressing matches into minutes. Instead of moving pieces, players fight for territory, create extra-turn chains, and use tactical Bursts to change the position.

Faster Without Becoming Shallow

Speed often destroys strategy, but Totemancer avoids this by keeping the game deterministic. Every result comes from decisions, not luck or reflex clicking.

Perfect For Busy Players

  • Play a full match during a short break
  • No opening memorization required
  • Immediate rematches without setup

A New Kind of Duel

If you love chess for its thinking but wish games moved quicker, Totemancer offers a fresh battlefield with the same intellectual satisfaction in a modern rhythm.
