Description
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!

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Gamiverses
This resource is part of the Gamiverses Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.
Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.
For example,
Charm: Board Game
This product is part of the Board Game charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Board Games are simply physical games (as opposed to video games). They could be played using cards, without a board, with players physically moving around, anything.
Our board games follow the rule that your first game should only require a single page of setup + rules. Most of them are cooperative multiplayer experiences.
Spell: My First Shapes
This resource is part of the My First Shapes topic (or "spell").
Just like colors, shapes provide an easy way to categorize the world around us and break it into smaller parts. This helps understand the world better: now you can explicitly ask your parents for the square thing, for example. It also enables teaching crucial skills such as grouping and combining later.
