A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Xeno Tactic have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Nintendo's Donkey Kong arrived in 1981 and introduced the character first known as Jumpman, who later became Mario. So a round of Xeno Tactic is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer strategy games timeline.
