How it feels

A tense but whimsical chess-like duel where a taunting, cheating troll forces you to learn absurd rule changes while accusing him of foul play.

What players say

Players describe a short, cheap game that twists chess into something trollish and challenging. They mention a cheating mechanic and split on difficulty, finding the 'good' ending notably harder than the first hour-long 'bad' ending.
