My dream gave me a new idea for a chess variant. I haven't tried it yet, but I want to know what people think.

The game starts with just two kings on the table. The other 15 pieces are held by their player.

On the player's turn, instead of moving a piece, a player may place a piece.

  • The player may place a piece in the first two rows at any time.
  • In response to a check, the player may place a piece anywhere to block the check.

What do people think of this variant?

Half the rooks done. MUCH easier than the bishops.

Today a friend showed me *Cooperative Chess* (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1585350/) and I’m loving it! It’s an interesting mix between logic challenge and social cuetaking because you have to predict what your partner will do so that you achieve the goal together. Very clever game idea!! #chess #chessvariant #coopgaming

The theme of the jam was to make a violent genre non-violent. Somehow the idea of co-op chess came up during a brainstorming session, and I knew immediately that I had to figure out how to make it work. And now you and a friend get to experience it yourselves.The other molasses game jam games are also on steam:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1556660/Shell_Out_Showdown/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1603590/My_Cousin_the_Rogue/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1603520/Save_Data/
