====== Tri-Dimensional Chess ====== You know, the one from //Star Trek//. Created in 1976 by Andrew Bartmess and Franz Joseph. I caught the bug while making a (2D) digital chess game in C++ for my computer science course. Built this out of CD cases with a cardboard stand. Rules surprisingly good, but friends were reluctant to play. 3D thinking is harder than I expected. {{tag>board played "released in 1976" "played in 2006" duo}}
