Chess³ (2009)

Chess³ (ChessCubed) is a three-player take on Chess, set on a hexagonal board. The concept of three-player chess is nothing new (e.g. 3 Man Chess, Chess for Three, Three Player Chess, Trigon Chess & Checkers, Tri-Chess, Megachess, 3er Schach), and the concept of chess on a hexagonal board is nothing new (e.g. Hexes: Hexagonal Chess, Hexagonal Chess, En Garde!, etc.). Heck, the concept of three-player chess on a hexagonal board isn't even new (e.g. Hexagonal Chess for three), but there are several features of Chess³ that make it stand out:


It emulates the traditional, two-rank setup with a straight line of powerful pieces protected by a straight line of pawns.
The hexagonal playfield has an incredible 168 hexes in order to accommodate each player's army.
Each player has the eight traditional power pieces, plus a champion. (The champion is the popular bishop/knight compound, but obviously with a hexagonal definition.)
Each player has ten pawns to protect the nine power pieces from wall to wall.
It features an angular, but familiar redesign of the pieces, each of which bears a hexagonal base.


The game is designed to be portable, with a roll-up board, a drawstring bag for each player's pieces, and a courier tube of a case for the whole thing.
