Looking through the games already included, I found various variants of chess and checkers, but as far as I can see no variant that changes the topology of the board from a simple square to a cylinder or a torus. I don't know much about the cultural role or importance of such variants, rather I find them interesting from a mathematical or strategic point of view, but at least they don't seem completely uncommon. For example cylinder chess:

I wouldn't mind implementing such variants myself (once I get a better understanding of the Ludii grammar, as I am fairly new to it). I was just wondering whether such variants have already been implemented or there is some interest or effort in this direction.
