Chess has always been a game we could get behind. It’s the type of sophisticated, sporting endeavor that exudes wood paneling, the smell of cigars and the taste of a few fingers of quality scotch. It’s a thinking man’s game and we like to consider ourselves thinking men. The only problem with chess is that, as it was designed, it only accommodates two people. Until now. Using Sherlock Holmes levels of deduction and what we assume is a significant amount of engineering expertise, 3 Man Chess has finally been created. The game plays the same except the board is round to fit in a third person. We haven’t played it ourselves (yet), but we imagine it’s so much fun that it will ultimately result in fisticuffs.
