I played 28 chess variants on Chess Laboratory and ranked them all. Hidden bombs, secret queens, a duck blocking your pieces, and even chess mixed with blackjack.
I go through the rules, show some gameplay, and decide which variants are worth coming back to. I’m looking for fun tactics and ideas that add something interesting to chess—and a few of these definitely work better than others.
Let me know which rankings you disagree with. What’s your favourite chess variant, and which one should I try next?
