Compare D.C.K.: Dock Chess King prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Valentware Games. Published by Valentware Games. Released on 4/24/2023. Available on PC, Mac. Genres: Casual, Indie, Simulation.

A dockyard-themed chess variant that strips the 64-square tradition and forces you to rethink foundational strategy.

I went in expecting a cosmetic reskin, but D.C.K. actually changes the board geometry and movement rules around a dockside setting. The core chess mechanics remain recognizable - you're still managing piece types and spatial control - but the altered layout and rule tweaks mean your standard opening repertoire doesn't transfer. It's a low-friction way to stress-test whether you understand *why* chess positions matter, not just what the memorized lines are. The presentation is minimal and the audience is niche, but if you want to break your chess habits and explore variant rule-sets without committing to something like fairy chess or 3D boards, this is a clean entry point. Don't expect competitive depth or a thriving community - treat it as a solo puzzle box for an afternoon or two. Diego, Scout Team

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
