Kelly could have a nap before you guys do that and then he is refreshed! You mentioned that he were tired from doing another game for quite a few hours 🙂
Donnalouise! The room you’re in when you’re playing with Wendy that is an amazing spot. Really great light and really nice to look at comfortable looking. And containers stacked up in the corner everything is nice and neat! you should film in there that’s an amazing space.😁😁😁 This is the best chess jigsaw puzzle game video I’ve seen!
This is actually quite a small room which I now use for my live-streaming. It does have really good lighting but not enough space to film comfortably for long puzzling periods of time, and no room for bigger puzzles. I'm live-streaming this coming weekend though and it works perfect in there. Glad you enjoyed!!!
It was so much fun and I like all our suggested rule variations which would make it easier - and then maybe more fun - for non-puzzlers. I suggest you give it a go 💜🧩
One easy way to spice up the game while making it more playable for players of different levels would be to add dices with the following rules: each player must place the number of pieces equal to the difference between the two dices. E.g. 5 and 3 means 2 pieces, 4 and 4 means 0 or skipped turn and double six means swap places and get your opponent's time. This game has a lot of potential for fun new rules.
It really does - so many ways tot spice it up and your suggestions are great. I've loved all the comments on this video - so many great ideas. I want a proper Puzzle Chess clock app in which you could incorporate all these ideas. Like it tells you how many pieces to put in, or triggers something to happen every 5 mins - swap seats, rotate puzzle, shuffle pieces. So much potential!!! Someone should jump on all these great ideas... 💜🧩
That was a brilliant video Donnalouise. I’m glad you did both solo and team chess - I wasn’t able to do the team chess, so I never really had the chance to test out any pros and cons about it. I honestly think not being able to confer is a little silly with team puzzle chess. If you can’t talk at all I’m not really sure I see the point of having a team situation at all. Maybe there’s something I’m missing? I definitely think if it’s not being played competitively and you’re just at home playing, like any game it should be fun. So changing it to confer or altering the rules a little is a good idea in that instance. I like that it is flexible enough to be altered though, there are all sorts you could do - the shuffle idea was a good one, or having 3 chances to swap turns. I came up with an idea to make it really crazy, so you have maybe 3 items you can use to distract the other player, and use them at your discretion, like blowing a horn or something 🤣.
There are so many possibility - can have competition-level puzzle chess, house-rules puzzle-chess, party-game puzzle-chess...options are almost endless! I can't wait to see how this game will develop in competition though. I loved watching your video also. Something we will need to play when we are all in Spain together. 💜🧩
Yes, I saw her video. Did I not mention her in the video or voiceover?? I thought I had but maybe I forgot...opps... I also saw Tammy and Yvonne play on Instagram. 💜🧩
So fun! I am so excited by the invention of this concept. :) I was thrilled when I saw that you had posted this, I just had to watch it right away! Yes, I think house rules and leniency of rules is a good idea when trying this at home, especially with non-puzzlers. I like your ideas for various rule changes. Also, I loved your reaction when Wendy said 5 pieces for every turn!
So many people have had some great rule variation ideas. I wish I could have a good puzzle chess clock with extra features incorporated. Can you imagine 5 pieces to every 1 piece??? HAHAHA I was shocked! 💜🧩
So pleased you enjoyed! One more thing that I learned recently was that in actual chess, you have to tap your clock with the hand that you used to move your piece. So that is a rule that I now apply to puzzle chess. So you can't just put in a piece with one hand and have the other ready to tap the clock as soon as you place, you need to use the same hand. 💜🧩
Love this!!! My husband is not a puzzler, but he said he would try this. I think to start, I would give him more time on the clock than me to even the playing field
On the app I was using, I couldn't figure out how to give the other person more time. I need to investigate that further as that would be a good option to make it more level. 💜🧩
You know I love your videos and it’s always great to see Wendy too. There could be so many variations in the rules. I think it’s great practice and great for trying out different tactics. I was definitely on Wendy’s wavelength with the 5 to 1 pieces. It definitely evens out the different levels of the puzzlers, with everyone still being able to enjoy the game. 😊
Wendy’s son-in-law is challenging me to a match - but no handicaps or advantages or rule changes. I don’t think he’s a puzzler but perhaps he’s hiding a secret and will kick my butt! I’m looking forward to it. 💜🧩
Love it! Glad you had fun even if it was frustrating at times. Ravensburger have a series called 'Puzzle Moment', there's 99, 200 and 300 piece ones and the piece size is normal. They would be great for this game :)
Thanks for the suggestion - I just looked those up and I can't find any for sale easily here in NZ. Ugh!! I'll keep looking. I really want to find standard size piece puzzles in that count range. 💜🧩
That looks so fun! Thing I would change is just start with a lot more time to be sure to complete the puzzle , would rather the game end with it finished if I were to play
Yup, you can add more time on the app and change the start time. I think the app was just called Chess Clock or something very similar. It started with just 10mins on the clock and I upped it to 15mins. I don't know how to give one player more time though. I still have to figure out if that is possible. 💜🧩
Love it and so great to see Wendy back and also your other friends! I thought Kelly's ideas were good, you could even have it so that at particular times eg 5 mins, 10 mins you throw a dice and depending on who gets the highest score or else there could be cards for each dice score, it could be mix the pieces as Kelly said or turn the puzzle around or teams swap seats with the others or add 1 min to their clock etc. There should definitely be a couple of chits so partners can take the turn or someone can pass a turn. For an expert level, some extra pieces that look similar could be mixed in with the rest as decoys!
Love all the ideas!! Rotating the puzzle, swapping chairs, adding time to the clock... We need someone to code a specific Puzzle Chess clock with all these options incorporated. Adding extra pieces for an expert level - WOOWEE!!! That would be tricky indeed! I can see a lot of fun things coming for this game if it takes hold. 💜🧩
This was a very informative video. I had been trying to strategize handicapping the better puzzler. I like the idea of multiple pieces rather than a time handicap. I worry about having the patience to sit through one piece at a time. This should be fascinating to watch how chess puzzling evolves.
Enjoyable guest appearance of Wendy - as always. 🙂 For the rule variations: For competitions I think the rules are fine. Allowing skipping to your partner could lead to situations that one very strong player wins a game for his/her team almost on his/her own. Of course the time penalty could be large (15 seconds?) so you would only use it in desperate situations... :-) For friendly, familiar encounters, however, house rules might surely be advisable. If the previous puzzling experience is very different it can become so frustrating for the less-experienced player since your playing partner might be planning ahead 5 pieces and so it feels like it is always your turn to move - whereas your opponent seems not to think at all (he/she thinks on your turn, of course :-). Handicaps like in golf would be great (you might then even use it in "handicap tournaments"). But surely setting the handicap correctly is hugely difficult since the handicap must consider piece count and probably even should consider the difficulty of the puzzle image, the latter judgement being impossible. If a sprint game will finish after both players only having used 3 minutes or whether a long game is a battle of whoever will time out the opponent (because the puzzle will not be finished within 30 minutes) - that makes a big difference for setting "correct" handicaps ...
It would be tricky to determine one's handicap but I think Wendy was a bit harsh - 5 pieces for me to every 1 for someone else. Hehehehe I can't wait to see how this game involves. I believe they will be having it at the Spain National competition in June. I'm hoping I can get some games in while Spain with @janetteandherpuzzles, @jigsawjubie and @Vickymakesandbuilds. I know we will be focusing on speed puzzling but perhaps some puzzle chess to unwinde. 💜🧩
Wow, you had so many good ideas!! ❤️ I really like the more social pair version where you have to work together as a team!! ❤️❤️❤️ That would be the ideal co-operative "boardgame" that I've been looking for! 😄 Also the other ideas like the shuffle were really great! Actually I might even suggest that there would be a shuffle after EVERY turn, because here's my main concern with this game: when you are waiting for the other one to find a piece, you have plenty of time to look at the pieces and make plans. And when you place a piece it takes only a few seconds - and then it's again the turn of the opponent! (Who might be struggling) Another option for shuffling would be that you are not allowed to look at the pieces when it's not your turn... I don't know. But something should be done if the players are not exactly on the same level, because this definitely rewards the better player.
I agree when playing just for fun and with non-puzzlers, you need to amend the rules as one person get way too much of an advantage and that would be discouraging for the other player. There are many options for rule variations though that could be applied. I can’t wait to see how this game develops. You and your hubby have to give it a try. 💜🧩
@@fortheloveofpuzzles Yes, we will definitely do that when (if) we get 200 subscribers - and I find a 200 piece puzzle! 🤣 I checked one supermarket this week but there weren't ANY! :')
Such a fun video. And you all were good sports. After Sunday dinner we play games, my daughter brought a debate game where you draw a card and divide into two teams by support or not. It was awful! I don't want to argue playing games. 😁 I am just doing a 500 piece from Eurographics, "Cobble Walk Cottage." I think it would be a good challenge for puzzle chess as it has enough variation, enough blended textures, and larger pieces so a balance in difficulty.
Oh goodness - I would be terrible at debating! I agree - no fun arguing when playing a game. I was thinking of maybe using a 500 piece puzzle for Puzzle Chess - perhaps complete the entire puzzle first and them leave in some pieces going down and across the middle so more pieces are already in place. 💜🧩
One easy little disadvantage you could use it to put the jigsaw the right way up in front of the weaker person and the stronger person has to do it upside down. What bothers me is that if the other person is slower you have a lot of time to try to work out which piece would be easy to put in and then the other person has immediately another turn and has no time to work out which piece would be easy while it is not her turn.
Kelly did say that he didn't like the angle he was viewing the puzzle and the box - our first game they were flipped but them our second game they were the same direction up. But yeah, that would be a good way to make it easier for one player is to have it right-side up for them and upside-down for the other. And yes I agree, if a player is taking a longer time, it gives the other time to find pieces and make a plan. I could keep at least 5 pieces in memory. Kelly's shuffle the pieces idea would definitely reset that. 💜🧩
O jogo com parceiros lembra o jogo de cartas, onde você tem um parceiro mas não pode se comunicar com ele. A frustração é grande! Eu sou muito competitiva e puzzle chess, uau!! Adorei. Parabéns para todos. Porque no final ficou a diversão. Gosto muito dos vídeos com a Wendy! Abraços para ela!! Fiquem bem, até a próxima!!! Tchauuuuu
Foi muito divertido de jogar! Você tentou? Você prefere simples ou duplo? Acho que prefiro jogar um contra um ou pares onde você pode conversar com seu parceiro. 💜🧩
Nice game, never heard of this before. I'm maybe slightly disappointed how the idea wasn't like in the real chess to make the pieces of your opponent to just disappear, because I'd be _really_ good in that.
I am new to your channel. I saw that Sven and Paige are friends, but could you introduce Wendy? Is she family, neighbor or otherwise? It was nice to see all of your guests.
Welcome! Kia ora! Sven and Paige are our friends and neighbours. Their pup Pixie plays with our Thora - they have appeared on a video I did about dogs solving puzzles along with our bigger boy Odin. Wendy has appeared in a few videos so far - she’s a dear friend. All are true kiwis and have the lovely accent. Thanks for watching and commenting - hope you enjoy my videos. 💜🧩
I think you have to have the same level of love for any game. Partners can be difficult I think every single many minutes you should have to switch chairs.
I always start the timers with 15 minutes but really, that doesn't matter too much. You can up or reduce the amount of time as you wish. It you want to ensure the puzzle will get done, then definitely increase the time. 💜🧩
I think the countdown is more for competitions so that there is a time limit and the puzzle doesn’t take too long to complete. They may even just have 10mins on each clock so the session last at most 20mins, or the 15mins each would be 30mins total for the game. But counting up would be fun if playing at home and really wanting to finish the puzzle. 💜🧩
I was gonna suggest, if you want to pass just take the penalty in real time - declare you want to pass and then wait 10 seconds before the other person can go.
Hi I think if you play with puzzlers you should keep the original rules. If you play with casual puzzlers you should just play like you did in the end.
What do you think of our rule variations? And what other variations would you suggest?

I just found out about this a bit ago so good timing! I really want to try this...now to find a fellow puzzler to play with. :)
It is a lot of fun. Don't be afraid to amend the rules as needed to make it enjoyable for everyone - especially if they are not puzzlers. 💜🧩
