Chess for idiots

Players face off on a familiar chessboard with the usual pieces, but standard movement and capture limits are removed: pieces can move any way, and a move can capture any number of opposing pieces. The winner is determined by IQ, with lower scores favored, and Ozjasz Goldberg's decision. The game features absurd weapons, including a blowing arrow, a grenade, hot sauce, and the Invisible Hand of Market. Players can also try a separate coin mode, based on taking turns blowing a coin toward an opponent's coin. The game frames its rule-breaking chess as Polish political satire. It supports multiplayer, and the supplied tags include local play for up to four players.

A satirical chess variant throws out standard move rules, letting players move pieces freely, capture at will, and use absurd weapons.
