A downloadable game for Windows

A deceptive 1v1 online game of tactics, strategy and economy!

Can you field the right pieces to traverse the board and sunder your foes' barracks? Take heed, you also need to defend your own barracks against their offensives. Pieces that enter an opponent's barracks tile are sacrificed, dealing damage. Lose both your barracks and it's game over!

Gain gold by capturing and sacraficing pieces. Use this gold to field units, ranging from standard chess pieces to powerful and unique fairy pieces.

Why's the game called Horses Can Swim? Well the board features water hazards for you to strategize around. The Knight can cross these without issue because...Horses Can Swim. The Wyvern can fly straight over them! Proper use of these obstructions will be key to both your offense and defence.
