Rook, Paper, Scissors!
A browser chess variant where power-up tiles, rule cards, chaos events, bots, and chat voters all get a turn at the rules.
Field notes
The game keeps standard chess notation alongside deliberately unruly systems: four card rarities, selectable draft pacing, hearts, clocks, power-up bags, and hazards such as meteors and open water. Chat can submit moves in several formats, including algebraic notation and named powers, while a companion page supports tap-based voting. The page also exposes a local-network or tunneled streaming setup involving port 8123, and links to source code on GitHub.
