TROSS is a Viking strategy game of cunning and conquest, where victory comes not from elimination, but from seizing your opponent’s throne.

TROSS is not your typical game of chess or checkers—this is a battle of strategy, deception, and Viking pride. Unlike traditional checkers, your goal isn’t to eliminate your opponent’s pieces but to seize their throne and leave them in disgrace. Victory comes not from sheer force, but from outwitting and outmaneuvering your rival.
Derived from the Norwegian word meaning “to spite,” TROSS demands bold sacrifices and ruthless cunning. Sometimes, you must even betray your own pieces to claim ultimate victory. Can you send your enemy home cowering in dishonor?
