Create a game, send one link. The first four people who open it play on a 14×14 cross-shaped board — everyone after that watches live. No accounts, nothing to install, free. Two languages, dark mode, works on phones
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I always wanted to build this game physically — a real 14×14 board for four players, sitting on a table. I never got around to it. So I'm making up for it in the browser instead.
chess4box is four-player chess. No login, no signup, free. You create a game and send one link — the first four people who open it take the seats. Everyone after that joins as a spectator and follows the game live.
One thing worth knowing: the game doesn't babysit your king. You can leave it in check, or walk it into danger — and if someone takes it, you're out. That's deliberate; four-player chess is messy by nature.
That's it. Simple.
Have fun ;-)
