Meet Litch, a scarily smart chessboard... with a dark arts problem.
Play in a new light.
An edge-lit chessboard for face-to-face games, computer opponents, and creative light displays.
A real board. More ways to play.
Play with a friend across the board or take on a computer opponent. Litch works with a USB-C power source, so app connectivity is optional for these ways to play.
Enjoy a shared game night or a solo challenge, without giving up the experience of playing on a physical chessboard.
Connect beyond the table.
Connect the Android or iOS app to change your board’s settings or update Litch to the latest features (features and releases are TBA).
Make the board’s experience your own.
A little help with your next move.
Explore Litch’s hints and coaching mode as you play.
When you want guidance rather than another guess, these features give you another way to engage with the game.
Give your games their own glow.
Configure the board’s gameplay animations to personalize its illuminated experience.
Make the visual side of your games feel as distinctive as the board itself.
Meet Vex. Shake up your chess.
Every board includes Vex, a duck-shaped piece for fully supported duck chess.
When you’re ready for something different, explore a chess variant that brings a new challenge to both sides of the board.
Make something beyond chess.
Use Litchcraft on the board or through the app to draw freely and create animated light displays.
Turn your board into a creative canvas or a coffee-table centerpiece between games. You can also download the app and explore Litchcraft while you wait for your board to arrive.
