Picture this...
You're in the middle of a chess match and your opponent strikes that sneaky move you should have seen coming.
What's your emotional impulse?
Flip the chess board and let the pieces fly across the room? 💥
Break the chess board with a hammer? 🔨
Pick up your trusty crossbow and shoot your king into the sky? 🏹
Now you can!
Rage Chess is a virtual reality game that allows users to play chess and express their emotions throughout the game.
Choose single player to try your luck against the Stockfish bot, or choose multiplayer to play with friends!

When this project reached the size at which it required Github Large File Storage (LFS), the creators switched to working through Unity Collaborate.
Since contributing directly to this code base through Github would not be an effective way to make updates to the project, please send us your feedback, suggestions, constructive criticism, or any other input.
