A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Four In A Row Chess is now added as a playable variant. As for all variants, it is combinable with the other modes of play. Piece Placement You may only place a Four In A Row piece on a file where your opponent’s back-rank square is empty. White may drop a piece into the a-file only if a8 is empty. Black may drop a piece into the a-file only if a1 is empty. Gravity Dropped pieces fall down the file until they hit another piece or the bottom of the board. Four In A Row pieces are affected by gravity. If they are no longer resting on another piece or the bottom of the board, they fall. Example:
