Corners Arena Brings the Classic Board Game to Steam in Three Sizes

The board game Corners has arrived on Steam as Corners Arena, a clean digital edition built around the game's core premise: move every piece from your home corner to the opposite side before your opponent does.

What's included

  • Local two-player matches
  • Computer opponents described as easy and tactical
  • Three board sizes — 8×8, 10×10, and 12×12
  • Up to 25 pieces per team
  • Optional diagonal routes
  • Windows, macOS, and Linux support

The ruleset is straightforward, but the announcement notes that matches quickly turn into puzzles of routes, tempo, and long jump chains — suggesting the game's depth lives in sequencing and positioning rather than hidden information.

The developer, listed as M, also publishes The Lady with the Dog, a visual novel adaptation of Anton Chekhov's short story, mentioned briefly as a companion title.

Corners Arena is 25% off during launch week. For players who grew up with the tabletop original, this release offers a compact, cross-platform way to return to it — with the added convenience of computer opponents when a second player isn't available.
