Talking about new and old obscure abstract games
A very nice puzzle related to Sokoban. You drag stones horizontally, and when two or more of the same color are adjacent, they disappear. Gravity exists to pull your stones down.
Most of the early posts about new games came from playtesting and discussions between João Pedro Neto and Bill Taylor. But even before Bill's passing on July 2021, the blog had gradually shifted its focus toward old and obscure two-player abstract board games. The blog will tend to avoid Chess variants and Mancala games, as dedicated sites for those already exist.
Regarding the chronological tags: older games means 1800s-1940s (pre-WW2),
old games means 1950-1989 (pre-video games),
new games means 1990-2005 (at least for now).

"Vexed" is the same game. There is also an
implementation for Vexed at the Zillions site.
