Chess is a great game. Simply knowing how to play will be a great benefit the rest of your life, and actively playing practices strategy, logic, thinking ahead, and more.
Unfortunately, Chess is quite difficult to teach (young) Apprentices. And so we thought: why not teach it in a more fun, gradual, and effective way?
This product contains 11 different “boards” (shaped like basic shapes), from easy to hard. Each board introduces one new piece, and how it moves or captures. All the pieces are basic shapes too, and they even move in a way that fits their shape.
Over time, as you get tired of one board and try the next one, you will subtly learn every single part of Chess. Until, at the end, you can play on a full board and are more than ready to jump to the real deal.
Early titles for this project were The Royal Games of King Triangle and Royal Games of Trioking. The word Tri-King was, unfortunately, already used by another project. We decided against these titles because they would have probably given the wrong impression, and because we have other games with King Triangle not within this product!
