Strato 3D Chess - Three Dimensional Chess

Strato Chess offers a challenge not to be found in the traditional game of chess. Here, you play in three dimensions instead of two. Under these circumstances, each player must think of the game in terms of left and right, forward and back, as well as up and down, as though the men on the field of play are suspended along three planes of space. Players risk being taken from above and below as well as from the traditional two dimensions.

Strato Chess is three times the challenge of standard chess and is a game where your powers of concentration can be put to a real test. Plot your strategy on this handsome 12" high, 3-level playing field.

10 x 10 Chequerboard (Walnut/Maple, 2 feet square)

Designed for use with our Jester 10 x 10 Chess sets or for 10 x 10 International Draughts, are these enormous, high quality 10 x 10 chequerboards. The boards are inlaid with Maple and are very large - more than 2 feet square.

In Europe and America, Draughts (or Checkers) is almost always played on an 8 x 8 chequerboard. However, there is a superior game called Polish Draughts or International Draughts that is played on a 10 x 10 board. Particularly popular in France and Africa and often played at international competition level, 10 x 10 draughts significantly increases the complexity of the game, especially when played using "Super Jumps".

10 x 10 chequerboards and pieces are increasingly difficult to obtain but Masters Traditional Games has sourced the following 10 x 10 high quality draughts boards. Large draughts are needed for this board - around 35mm diameter is ideal.

Hand-made Halma board with wooden pawns and rules

Halma is quite difficult to obtain these days and certainly there have been no quality versions of the game since the early 1900s. We have rectified this with our beautifully hand made board. Made to our own commission by an experienced craftshop - these boards are unique to Masters Traditional Games.

For the games enthusiast or any lover of fine wooden objects, the Halma board is faced entirely with inlaid natural wood. The outer frame is maple with a walnut string border. The squares and lines are inlaid with 6mm Maple and Black Walnut timbers. The circle spots delineating the startings zone are inlaid in Oak and Ash. We studied a number of antique boards to find the most elegant corner design. In the end, we weren't happy with any of the old designs which are either cluttered or ugly and we came up with our own idea that we feel is the most aesthetic of any board we have yet seen - dark spots for the inner borders and white spots for the 2 outer borders.

The board comes with 13 green and red halma pawns and 19 black and white pawns so that either 2 or 4 people can play. Pawns are 27mm high with a base of 15mm. Rules are included. This game does not have a special storage container is dispatched in a simple cardboard carton.

Contains small parts. Unsuitable for children under 36 months.

Parchis (Spanish Ludo - Contemporary Style)

This stunning version of the game comprises a contemporary-styled board with a sleek, laminated, gloss finish and a felted underside. The playing pieces are stained wooden squares and four stylish rectangular dice shakers are also included, along with four dice - one in each colour.

The objective of the game, like Ludo, is to race all your pawns around the board to the finishing area. The first to successfully move all four pawns around the board is the winner. However, there are a few rules that can be incorporated that make the game more strategic and complex; for example, blockades can be made by two pawns - but only in 'safe squares', and pawns can 'eat' each other if they land on a square that is already occupied. The 'eaten' pawn is then sent back to the start. These additional rules add more strategy to the game and mean that is is not entirely dependent on the roll of dice and luck.
