Rulehouse gives you a board of pawns and then changes how chess works on every stage, so each level is a small puzzle where your opening habits are the thing to forget. Brackeys jam entries like this one usually live or die by how far a single idea goes, and the pieces along the title screen (shogi tiles, a dragon, a stone block) suggest the rule changes reach well past standard chess. The title art is properly odd too: a pixel-art hand coming out of a board that floats over Earth.

Already found by plenty of people this week — not our picks, just what everyone else was playing.
Passed over today: several developer tools and templates, blog posts about game tech, plain clones of chess, Risk, Worms and memory cards, and a stack of idle clickers.
