Chess Incremental Guide: How the game works
About
OverviewChess Incremental is a Roblox idle game where a chess board plays itself, earning you Chess (the main currency) automatically. You spend that currency on upgrades, roll Runes and Ranks to grow stronger, and work through multiple Prestige layers to unlock new content. This guide covers how to get started, how the Prestige and Rune systems work, and how to redeem codes for free rewards.

How the game works
Summary
The chess board moves automatically from the moment you join, generating Chess without any input from you. Every upgrade you buy increases how much Chess you earn, which lets you afford the next upgrade faster. As you progress, new currencies unlock and open up further things to buy.
- Chess (currency) earned automatically every time the board makes a move
- Upgrades purchased with Chess to increase your earning rate
- New currencies unlock as you advance, giving you more to work toward
- Runes and Ranks rolled and leveled up separately from the main upgrade track
- Prestige a reset mechanic that unlocks new content each time you use it

Tips
Runes and Ranks both level up through rolling, making you progressively stronger. Two of the stats tied to this system — Rune Speed and Rune Luck — can be boosted by interacting with the game's Roblox page.
- Liking the game on its Roblox page raises your Rune Speed and Rune Luck
- Favoriting the game on its Roblox page also raises Rune Speed and Rune Luck
Redeeming codes

- A code you have already redeemed will not work again

Common questions
FAQDo I have to watch the game for it to make progress?
The chess board plays itself continuously, so Chess accumulates automatically. You do need to spend Chess on upgrades and roll Runes and Ranks yourself.
Where do I find codes?
Codes are distributed through official announcements. One code called RELEASE rewards you with free Tickets and Potions, and a secret code is hidden inside the game for you to find.
