True 4D+ Chess variants[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

4+ dimensional chess variants have their own category here (is it the only one small enough still to fit on one search result page?). I'm not sure what you mean by the 4d games here being "stretched 3d".

Here are my personal opinions on some of our 4d games:
Chesseract: pure 4d, some strange pieces
Timeline: not very chesslike, but pure 4d geometry
Hyperchess, Walkers&Jumpers, Sphinx Chess: 'mixed' (2+2)d geometries
Fabulous Flying Kittens: I still don't understand how this works
TessChess: my own, perhaps too pure and therefore subject to analysis paralysis
