Show HN: Laser, a new game played on a chess board Laser is a turn based game similar to chess, with different piece movement rules, starting position, and win conditions. It's named after the laser piece, which can shoot diagonally through every piece on the board except for the wall , which blocks it. The detailed rules are on the website. I made the website as a super minimal way to play online against friends. Nobody really knows about it so it might be hard to find a game, but maybe you will against someone on HN if people read this. It uses the lichess.org chessboard UI which is super pretty and allows you to draw on the board, make premoves, etc. The code is public if you are interested: github.com/melgrove/laser If you are playing, good luck, and don't get lasered! https://playlaser.xyz July 11, 2023 at 07:27AM
