CHESS BUT ALL THE RULES ARE DIFFERENT! - KING OF THE BRIDGE

[@SilverScythe65]

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

[@Dracnoral1987]

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

[@blaaaghy8300]

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.

[@KGello]

So never, probably

[@rowanwhitethorn3400]

@@KGelloit is impossible to promote pieces, so the number of towers can never be more than 2.

[@mattzalot2576]

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?

[@JesusMcgeeBAMF]

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

[@zinczombie]

The bishop really did go on vacation

[@krumpits]

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

[@yakobsoulstorm5187]

I feel like knowing chess actively dampens your abilities.

[@BeartatoTime]

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

[@СветланаКузьменко-з4и]

Funny thing about castle rule is that if there is a castle there cannot be 3 rooks

[@alejandroreyes9574]

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

[@Ihileath]

And I love it for that

[@darthvaderyan]

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

[@PierceArner]

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.

[@Geesuv]

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

[@Erhannis]

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

[@smellslikeanvil9257]

I know i am too late, but the answer is that Queens can be moved by anyone.

[@Erhannis]

@@smellslikeanvil9257 Oh, weird. Ok, thanks

[@henrikljungstrand2036]

Yes, that's right. A special, hilarious rule.

[@jesperstaunhansen7190]

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

[@Glytcho]

I hope you try for the good ending lol

[@brutalmaker]

I have closed captions on, everytime he says pawn, the captions translate it as porn

[@SkeleMann]

Get the other endings!

[@patrickknoph6313]

This game is pure madness.

[@BriskKnuhm]

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

[@RubelliteFae]

That moment when castles aren't towers

[@kamikazesopp]

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

[@OhSoUnicornly]

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!

[@TheOnlyOrk]

this looks brain melting

[@AdamSpurgin]

pigeon chess: the game

[@taylorbrecht8049]

When's the chess roguelite coming out

[@kamikazesopp]

Isn't that Shotgun King?

[@foreng3095]

Iirc there's already one (other than the Shotgun King). Can't remember the name off the top of my head.

[@kamikazesopp]

@@foreng3095 A quick google showed me that there's at least 15, and I had never heard of any of them. 🤣

[@Aura-Of-Syrinx]

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

[@TheWingdingo]

I think they just stacked on the tile

[@eloplaysYT]

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

[@Neomagi125]

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

[@morningbeauvoir]

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

[@kezmsfilms1300]

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

[@goose9096]

Always a good day to watch a tom video

[@thephoenixsystem6765]

That was awesome

[@Meister_Mogul]

Watch Tom become an Angory Cheater

[@aidanbrown7670]

what is this game even 😆

[@LashingMrX01]

Beat it without cheating

[@mammamiawhygod2091]

Words cannot describe how much I hate this game because it has dumb rules that only benefit the troll. You can do everything right, but oops, you jumped over your own piece when he can do that all the time. Also, it's an instant kill for you the second he is able to cheat, but not for him. I haven't even gotten to the more wacky stuff myself because of these unfair double standards.

[@loveisinportant5570]

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.

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

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

[@putmeawayplease]

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

[@Sinsults]

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.

[@TheHorzabora]

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

[@putmeawayplease]

looks like you got trolled
