3D chess has been a part of STAR TREK since Kirk took on Spock in the second pilot. Now you can learn the easy-to-follow rules and collect your own set complete with a full-sized replica board and 48 beautifully sculpted chess pieces made at 1:21 scale. Bring STAR TREK’s greatest characters to life, placing them in the center of the game.
There will be three sets: The Original Series (Gold bases), Star Trek: The Next Generation (Silver bases) and Aliens and Enemies (Black bases). At launch the first nine pieces were announced to be Picard (King TNG), Kirk (King TOS), Data (Rook TNG), Spock (Bishop TOS), Borg Queen (Queen Aliens), Worf (Knight TNG), Gorn (Rook Aliens), Xindi-insectoid (Pawn Aliens) and Tasha Yar (Knight TNG). There will be 48 pieces produced in total. Hopefully more sets from other series will follow if the collection is successful enough.
The type of each chess piece is indicated on the front of the bases and each comes with a digital magazine that profiles the character and gives you the inside story from STAR TREK’s writers and producers about how they were created and how they evolved.
A full sized replica board standing over 27 inches tall is included as a free gift and will be sent in five shipments during the collection.
Every piece is a unique sculpt that’s never been available before and have been digitally sculpted and painted by hand.
Special issues will also be offered during the collection which subscribers can choose not to receive after notiffication. |
