So Valve recently announced their version of the Dota2 Auto Chess mod. I searched on YouTube, checked /r/AutoChess and I still have no clue what the game is.
It seems like a pretty big deal with Epic and Riot working on their versions as well.

Every turn you get to buy some units, and place them on one half of a chessboard. Your half-chessboard is then copied and matched to an opponent, and then the two sides battle. Each unit has different properties like Attack range, damage, special abilities, etc. You can position the units on your chessboard to do some basic manoeuvres (eg Tanky units in front, squishy at the back).
You earn points for beating the enemy’s board, which lets you buy more units. Units can be upgraded by combining identical units, but there is a limited pool of units so you have to strategize around your opponents.
