Tabulo is an upcoming Balatro-inspired chess roguelike

Another Balatro-inspired game and this time it's a chess roguelike, and one that actually looks like it could be pretty fun. There's a demo available which has Native Linux support.

Positioning is key here, since it's taking a bunch of elements of chess. Keep enhancing your pieces, purchase new powers and grab some bonuses from different challenges. But with the board being quite compact, it can be a challenge and you have to be careful. Each run has you build up a unique board and fill it with different pieces with their own synergies, but it's still all about increasing that score. As you progress you'll unlock new pieces, tiles and boards.
