== Beta variants ==

Those games have not been released officially to Jocly as they are not complete. This might missing rules, credits or description, or some details need to be tuned like lighthing or transparency, or we want to release the game with a dedicated set of pieces that we haven't created yet. They are however perfectly playable.

=== Grid boards ===

The board is defined with rows and columns (ranks and files).

(all grid boards games deployed)

=== Multiplan boards ===

Several grids on top of each other.

(all multiplan boards games deployed)

=== Hexagonal boards ===

Boards with various shapes made of hexagons.

(all hexagonal boards games deployed)

=== Circular boards ===

(all circular chess are deployed)

=== Cylinder board ===

(all cylinder chess deployed)

== Alpha variants ==

Those games are missing major features like a 2D skin or view switch option, or the rules are not coded.

== Desired variants ==

Those games will be running on Jocly at some point.
