I decided to allow the tutorial to be opt in based on post-launch feedback. I had also already wanted to add a reminder that the ultimate goal is checkmate for either side. So I took the opportunity to add a dismissible rules card that shows up during play, which also includes the basic round goal and can serve as a tutorial replacement for players that prefer to learn hands on.

When your friends win, you win.
Co-op Chess occurs in rounds, and in each round you must occupy all the "!" squares.
Acheive checkmate for either side and you both win!
If you've read this far, you must want some feature details
- Customizable difficulty.
- Single-player mode if you want to learn in a safe place (or if that's just your thing).
- Avatar customization unlocked by completing achievements.
- Private games with friends.
The story behind Cooperative Chess
Cooperative Chess is part of what has retroactively been termed a "molasses jam" run by the Bay Area Dev Collective. The theme of the jam was to make a violent genre non-violent. Somehow the idea of co-op chess came up during a brainstorming session, and I knew immediately that I had to figure out how to make it work. And now you and a friend get to experience it yourselves.The other molasses game jam games are also on steam:
