About
Born at game night.
Relay Chess started with four friends, one board, and a lot of groaning at a partner's “creative” moves. Two teams, one board, teammates taking turns, and nobody allowed to explain their plan.
We built it so game night works from anywhere. It is free, it has no ads, and the code is open, so it sticks around for as long as people want to play.
