Battle Chess: Game of Kings looks like it will be coming to Linux as a developer confirms it on their Steam forum.

I played a really old battle chess game on the Amiga and it was quite fun, this game looks quite fantastic at bringing an old classic board game to life.

QuoteMac/Linux/Windows will play each other. :)

I tried this in wine and I cannot click anything on the main menu, also using nvidia + wine 1.7.15

On my case works without problem, my system specs is

CPU: INTEL Pentium G3220 (Nucleo Haswell a 22nm) 3.0Ghz (Dual-Core) Stock Clock

its possible only have test for probe that

Quoting: GuestBuying it purely to run under wine isn't as effective as voting with your wallet and waiting for a native Linux build.

But for now if anyone wish using on linux, can use wine

On my opinion wine on gaming actually is more using on DX9 titles and before (but still issues)

Resuming while users want linux native games (and pay for them) many games appears in next years

Resuming while users want linux native games (and pay for them) many games go on appears in next years, especially newer games

Wine is never a good alternative...especially having to keep a seperate steam installation and switching is really annoying. Still can't get it to work anyway.

But if you want play some title (DX9 mainly with certain conditions) and dont like use windows

You needed if developer make linux port but if developer dont make linux port only remains play on wine, and many games works if you can see my youtube channel

Its more complicated than use windows or use native port but if user wants
