Let's round up the nominations:

David Paulowich nominated Tiger Hunt and Sort of Almost Chess. His nomination of his own Opulent Lemurian Shatranj does not count, because inventors cannot nominate their own games.

H. G. Muller has nominated Duck Chess, and Jean-Louis Cazaux has seconded it.

Jean-Louis Cazaux has nominated Superschaak, and the games mentioned in his recent book More Chess and More Than Chess Expanded C., Sac C., Opulent C., Elven C., Gross C., Hectochess, and Enhanced Courier C. H. G. Muller has said to him

The variants from your latest book are all good candidates. But they do belong to a family of closely related games, which was the theme of the book. So also here I suggest that we should not pick too many of those in a row, but regularly also pay attention to variants that involve more exotic rules that put them outside the scope of your book.

I'll take this as a second for these games.

H. G. Muller has also nominated Superchess, Paco Shako, Musketeer Chess, Tenjiku Shogi, Chu Shogi, and Spartan Chess. Assuming that Superchess is Superschaak, Jean-Louis seconded it.

Edward Webb nominated Metamachy.
