# General description

**The game is completely free** - game mechanics allow you to complete the game without donations and without using NFTs.

The game can be started as one of the factions - white (Elves) or black (Zombies).

The game will have 3 main game mechanics: Chess (a subgenre of Fairy Chess and Chesscraft), RPG and TBS.

#### [Chess mechanics](/chess-zombies-wpeng/gameplay/chess.md) will be implemented in the form of chess games:

* During a chess game, all pieces move and cut according to the rules of chess. At the same time, unlike classical chess, in order to cut down a piece, the player will first need to defeat it, as well as all the pieces that defend it.
* The battle between the figures takes place as a separate duel, which is part of the TBS mechanics.
* NFT figures will correspond to one of the classes of figures, while they may differ in characteristics, trajectory of movement and attack.

#### [RPG mechanics](/chess-zombies-wpeng/gameplay/rpg.md) will be implemented through the system of development of figures, ammunition, game boards and gems:

* There will be 15 levels of figures and ammunition in total. Pieces, game boards, ammunition and gems will each have 5 types of rarity.
* Balanced drop system - for each enemy figure killed, the player receives Energy, ammunition, resources and gems.
* The system of crafting and gambling figures, ammunition and gems. In the basic version, each player at the beginning will have a standard set of pieces: Pawns (8 pcs.), Knights (2 pcs.), Bishops (2 pcs.), Rooks (2 pcs.), Queen (1 pcs.) and King ( 1 PC.).

An important element of the RPG is the building system. There will be 15 types of structures in total: Citadel, Portal, Market, Jewelry Workshop, Forge, Ore Store, Wood Store, Barrack, Arena, Temple, Fortress, Alchemy Laboratory, Stable, Library and Tower. Each building will have 5 levels of development and its own function in the game.

#### [TBS mechanics](/chess-zombies-wpeng/gameplay/tbs.md) will be implemented in the form of separate fights between pieces that take place during a chess game (game within a game): 

* Up to 8 pieces of each player can participate in a duel at the same time.
* The duel necessarily involves: attacking and attacked figures. Can additionally participate: all pieces of players that can move to the place of the attacked piece (protecting pieces and pieces strengthening the attack).
