But I Only Have One Friend: A Three-Person Chess Set

July 2, 2012 / are we having fun yet?, board games, but i only have one friend :(, curse you third spoke!, different strokes for different folks, eating your opponents pieces when they're not looking, games, i always lose, i am proud to say i've never had a chess piece in my ass (but know plenty of people who have), i like the little horsey guys and the castles -- those are my favorite pieces, sure why not, whee!

This is a three-person chess set. It's not the first 3-person chess set I've posted on Geekologie, but it is the first one that doesn't look like it was made by a novice carpenter. Who knows, maybe you've owned a three-person chess set forever. How do you even play? Is it anything like Chinese checkers? Oh man, I love playing Chinese checkers. You know what the best part is? Winning and getting to put all the marbles in your mouth.

Thanks to pink_towel, who rumor has it started life as a white towel but accidentally got washed with the reds.

    Can you cross the board, or do you go around the circle in the middle?

    Not being a dick(actually am somewhat) but this is very old, I seen this about 4 years ago and even then it was old news. A quick google search finds posts about this every year since 2001.

    maybe you should have created a blog 4 years ago and talked about it?

  • "If I haven't seen it, it's new to me."

  • Couldn't the rooks just move sideways and take them all out? Must have amended rules.

  • Colin Hebert

    Do you see the thick line between rooks and their pawns? My guess is that it's a wall.

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    great.....now we are going to get 3 computers to play each other? this is going to take forever.

  • I wonder if this comes with Ibuprofen? This seems like one headache of a game to play.
    It would seem like it would be played like Chinese Checkers with the rules of Chess.
