PlayShifu Chess

PlayShifu Tacto Chess is an augmented reality chess learning set that combines physical chess figurines with interactive gameplay on a compatible tablet or smartphone (sold separately). Using the free Tacto app, the on-screen chessboard responds as the figurines are placed on the device with the supplied frames, creating a guided way to learn piece movement and core rules.

The app includes story-led play, puzzles and AI opponents, progressing from beginner guidance to more challenging activities. The set contains 10 figurines split into two colours, representing each chess piece type, plus two frames and a setup guide. No batteries or Bluetooth are needed for the figurines.
