Clubs
Every player in ChessVS belongs to a club. Your club shapes your board's look, your passive ability, your card art, your AI opponent's personality, and the community you compete alongside.
The protocol launches with two clubs — Bitcoinia and Etheryst — with additional clubs introduced over time. Each new club arrives with its own spotlight season.
Your Battle Board is club-specific and your club cannot be changed later. Read this page and the launch club pages before you commit.
Launch clubs
The two clubs available at Player Registration:
| Club | Inspired by | Style at a glance |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoinia | Bitcoin | Aggressive, attrition, proof-of-work tempo |
| Etheryst | Ethereum | Combinatorial, two abilities a turn, deep combos |
Bitcoinia and Etheryst launch together for Season 1 — Genesis War — and Season 2 — The Merge — respectively.
Choosing your launch club
There's no "best" club — each rewards a different style.
- Like aggression and pressure? Bitcoinia.
- Like deep strategy, combos, and high decision density? Etheryst.
Pick the identity you genuinely connect with — you'll be wearing it for a long time.
Future clubs
Additional clubs are planned for future seasons. Each will arrive with its own spotlight season, AI persona, board material, passive ability, and themed card collection. Names and details are announced ahead of each launch as they're confirmed — keep an eye on the Discord and your registered email for announcements.
