This game takes that frustration of not remembering the rules of chess, and dialing it to 11

I like that you become a troll if you cheat in retaliation.

Tom kept saying he sucks at chess, like it has any real bearing on what is happening right now lol

I feel like knowing chess actively dampens your abilities.

Tom's supercastle gains +4 scrap as his pawn is incapacitated by a slippery tile. "I'm just so bad at chess!"

This game feels like they took the infuriating feeling of playing against someone who changes the rules when theyre losing and decided to make it into a game

The bishop really did go on vacation

About Rule 28. When 2 towers are together they form a castle, so that new piece can only be moved when there are 3 or more towers on the board.

How does it factor into it when the tower eats a piece? Or two? Or more? Does that affect the game, and particularly the castle conundrum?

I feel like this is designed for chess players looking for a laugh and no one else

That troll rubbing its hands....its the best thing about 2024

This is like the card game mao taken to the next level

I hope you try for the good ending lol

I'm curious if this would be easier for a non-Chess player to learn, or for a Chess player to un-learn/re-learn the new Troll rules.

Have you ever seen the wacky chess variants chess nerds come up with? They're honestly not far off this...

That moment when castles aren't towers

That moment when you realize two queens together count as one tower.

Get the other endings!

11:32 Anybody know what happened there? It sure LOOKED like cheating to me

You have to watch this more than once to even follow along

Watch Tom become an Angory Cheater

That was awesome

Always a good day to watch a tom video

pigeon chess: the game

why not use the black pieces to kill other black pieces when you are able to cheat?

I think they just stacked on the tile

you should go for the good ending basically dont point out cheating or cheat

This is almost exactly like playing chess with my 8 year old neice

what is this game even 😆

Beat it without cheating

I bet the good end comes from not cheating even when you get the option to do so.

I'm surprised by all the hate for this game in the comments! I think it's a really cool idea and makes me giggle because I am bad at chess but this feels like it levels the playing field a bit. I enjoyed watching!

Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 1601 What a fun little game, needs more shotguns though XD I tell you, I am amazed Tom doesn't really no chess that well, I assumed it was like a basic knowledge. But also, what a poor game for him to test his lack of knowledge on XD ha ha, oh that wacky troll and his "chess" God, I tell you, the Rotoscoped Troll Animation XD The fucking acceptance when the Bishop got taken by the duck XD my god

This is possibly the game I'm least exicted about. Like, even less than games I've never heard of. This looks like such a chore to play.

It's certainly interesting... not for me, but interesting.

luckily, tom plays games according to his own tastes and interests first

There is an attempt at subversion of expectations here, but it looks like it's frustrating to play given that you rely on chess rules only to get thwarted repeatedly by made up and obscured rules that you have no way of knowing, so you just get stomped. The game tells you immediately to call out cheating, but how are you supposed to know what's cheating and what isn't when the rules are arbitrary.

Honestly, this is the only game I’ve watched on this channel I genuinely thought was bad. Watching people play chess is bad enough, watching someone play chess to a bunch of made up rules you only discover as you get beaten… … it was like a commentary on Roguelikes
