Chess vs Boltly

Chess with one capture rule changed — and that one change rewires how you think. THE RULE Pieces can only capture the same type. • Pawns capture pawns • Knights capture knights • Queens capture queens • Kings still capture anything (like normal chess) Everything else is normal: check, checkmate, castling, en passant, promotion. WHY PLAY THIS Regular chess rewards muscle memory. Openings on autopilot. Patterns you stop questioning. Here, every capture is a decision. Positions that look like blunders aren’t. Safe-looking pieces suddenly aren’t. It’s a workout for calculation — the kind that transfers back when you return to standard chess. FEATURES • Full games vs CPU (multiple strengths) or pass-and-play • Offline — no account required • Weird-rule mate puzzles built for this capture rule • Themes and piece sets • Optional clocks If you’re stuck in the same games, try a rule that won’t let your hands play for you.

Every toy in Boltly arrives bolted inside its packing crate. Unscrew the pins, sort every screw into the box of its color, and watch the toy appear. Factory halls that open one by one, a workshop full of toys, and a bonus for beating the clock. A calm screw sort puzzle you can play at your own pace. Plan ahead with a small buffer tray: a full tray ends the run, and every level is verified solvable. Not sure about a move? Hold a screw to peek at what would drop before you commit. WHAT'S INSIDE • Level after level of unscrewing, sorting and planning, from gentle first boxes to tricky locked panels • Five lives from level 11, one comes back every 30 minutes (or refill with coins or a short video); no clock on most levels, so think as long as you like • Gear challenges: every level offers up to three gears for tidy, quick solves, with bonus coins • Race for bonus coins: a speed bonus pays extra for quick, clean solves, and the hardest levels add a countdown • A toy workshop to fill: every win reveals a toy for your shelves, from the Playroom and Space to the Zoo and Music room, with gold stars as you complete each toy • See the next box coming as soon as one fills, so you can plan your next screws • Locked screws: find the key screw to open the padlock • Plays offline, no internet needed; in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Turkish If you like nuts and bolts puzzles, color sorting and pin games, Boltly is the screw sort puzzle with a toy inside.
