A fun little puzzle-comedy game about playing chess with a cheating bridge troll, where you’re able to cheat back.

Gotta say, I really liked this one. It’s fairly short, but it’s clever, and has quite a few little secrets to find. Definitely glad to have picked it up. Some devious tricks, too, which got some laughs out of me. I especially love the airtight reasoning for the troll’s rules, heh.

Anyway, not much else to say for this week I think. So thanks, as always, for your time. And till next time, take care out there.
