Chess, but the rules are cursed

It’s connected to rule 9

[@dandykong321]

So, a theory regarding the ending: You turn into a troll after winning because of Rule 11, "If the black king dies, the crown is given to another member of the royal guard. The perpetual cycle continues." And the troll plays as his own king piece. But if you capture all his pieces, there's nothing else to invoke Rule 11 on. So he kings _you_. There is no win condition for white - either black wins, or white becomes black and wins. So how do you avoid this fate? You cheat. Notice how the troll's last words are to accuse you of cheating? That was his fatal mistake. Next time you play this game, try pressing space during the ending and see if it lets you go into accusation mode. Calling his Rule 1 violation and cheating back is probably how you get the good ending.

[@hunterchichester5720]

OMG

[@hptuseqz7437]

in theory it may give you that ending... but there's one thing you missed. Successfully spotting a troll cheat will allow you to cheat back as revenge... "You [may] cheat this turn" It's not really a direct statement... but could it be that to win is to not..?

[@Ariamaki]

There's also the paper pointing out that he doesn't want pawns to ascend, specifically drawing out all of them...

[@tsunamininja]

My theory (halfway through the video) is simply that you need to win without cheating to get the good ending.

[@lantosrevial8846]

@@tsunamininja So I bought the game after seeing that Icely didn't want to make a no cheat run, proceeded to play the entire 1st game without cheating, and was rewarded with the good ending. After you win, the troll calls you an idiot for not cheating despite him cheating all the time and the rulebooks allowing you to cheat if you call *their* cheats, then asks you if you were trying to teach him a lesson, and finally tries to convince himself that you cannot change him, repeating it 4 or 5 times. He then slips and falls (does the slippery tiles movement). You can then go up, and get now rewarded with the "You crossed the bridge." quote, followed by the number of attempts, the time, and a quote stating that you never cheated before the credits roll, and you get sent to the main menu.

When there's only one piece left, you can actually just cheat. He has no more pieces, therefore he has lost.

[@Can-uj5pv]

Except for a tower, if you still have one on your side, I'd guess.

[@valorune]

cool i was wondering if you could do that

[@Ayelis]

How do you mean? Doesn't he always take your king with his king, which is his last piece?

[@blanca-borb]

Oh, you mean the king that doesn't exist, because there are no more pieces?

[@sadmate_]

you out-goblin'd the goblin by not doing the no-revenge-cheat run. I am frustrated but at the same time I'd do it too. lol

[@warmwater9509]

Finally, chess got an update

[@edward9487]

I think the good ending involves something along the lines of getting across the bridge... without trollification. Maybe no cheating.

[@aidensnyder2420]

yeah, probably beat the game without revenge cheating

[@Maxwell_Twist]

This is correct. It took 7 attempts and 48 minutes, but I just got the good ending. Just don't cheat.

[@Twisted_Code]

9:00 "This is undefended right now" he says forgetting the troll rules on pawn movement

[@ZachAttack6089]

Also not realizing that there's a bishop right next to it defending it lol

[@mathematicskid]

9:40 it was you capturing the old king with your queen

[@Graknorke]

Bishop goes on vacation, actually works out of town

[@sliporful]

well isnt it because he goes on like missionary things

[@paulomatute4114]

I think the enemy lift of your pieces occasionally to make you think that they moved and you false accuse him You did fall for it the first time

[@rovalen_hagane]

We'll be waiting for the sequel to this CBA, the Decent Battle Advanced

[@Ka_muu]

100%ed this game just now. Great game. My complaint was exactly what Icely did -- troll does not understand page T2. He can accuse you of cheating even when the cheating piece does not exist, HOWEVER -- that's because this is a special case. Both the troll and the player are not allowed to cheat in a way that removes the cheating piece from play. If the cheating piece becomes a castle, the castle is now the cheating piece.

[@ilse7743]

Like playing chess against a child... who made their own rules...who is also cheating, very nice

[@DonickPL]

but he actually writen all the rules and when u catch him cheating he lets u cheat for one turn too

[@steamedeggeggegg]

We all have trauma to rules after playing the password game

[@shannonhoward4792]

[@suitcaseofsmarts]

LMAO

[@alfonsofonso19]

That rule looks very sus

[@JustHexyl]

I see everyone is speculating how to get the good ending, my 10 cents is to keep your pawns alive, get the troll for cheating 8 times, or naturally ascend your pawns, there was a torn page about not letting all 8 of them ascend

[@Kreschnav]

I had the same idea. The first ending I got was from ascending all my pawns. Thank you bishops.

I checked the achievements and (semi spoilers about Endings) Theres not just a "good" and "bad" ending: theres also an "Ascension" ending and a "Goose ending" (??!) I can only assume the ascension ending is based on pawns, but... goose?? I dont have a clue.
