CHEXS is a simultaneous turns strategy game developed by the creators of Qvadriga. It uses chess pieces moving in a hexagonal board where both players could give orders to all of their pieces and all of these movements are processed and solved simultaneously. While the final goal is still to defeat the opponent's king, the pieces could compete for occupy an hexagon or support each other in combined attacks. This creates fast pacing games with dynamic fronts.
