This is the two hundred twenty-second entry in the Scratching That Itch series, wherein I randomly select and write about one of the 1741 games and game-related things included in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. The Bundle raised $8,149,829.66 split evenly between the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and Community Bail Fund, but don’t worry if you missed it. There are plenty of ways you can help support the vital cause of racial justice; try here for a start. Lastly, as always, you may click on images to view larger versions.
Our two hundred twenty-second random selection from the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality has put our king into check, and then pushed a bunch of its chips into the pot. It’s Shift, by Jack Schlesinger, and its tagline in the bundle reads:
The game of constantly changing strategy where you have to check to bet!
Check yourself before you bet yourself.
