Jungle Law
Classic Jungle Chess: elephant down to rat in a strict pecking order where rat eats elephant, outsmart the computer using traps and the den.
How to Play
The order is elephant > lion > tiger > leopard > wolf > dog > cat > rat, but the rat eats the elephant. Select your piece, then click an adjacent empty square to move or an edible enemy to capture. Pieces in the enemy's trap are weakened; reach the enemy den or capture all pieces to win.

Honest thoughts after a week of playing
Jungle Chess. Elephant beats lion, lion beats tiger, tiger beats leopard… down to mouse beats elephant. Yes, mouse beats elephant. That’s the most ridiculous and most charming rule. I used to play this on a desk in elementary school, and every time my opponent’s mouse ate my elephant I’d slam the desk. Now playing the AI in a browser, when my elephant got eaten by the AI’s mouse—that twenty-year-old anger came back instantly, not a second of delay. Some angers don’t age. Of course, later I used my mouse to eat the AI’s elephant. Revenge is a dish best served cold—after twenty years.
