Wow, and board games! At the beginning of the pandemic, my son was obsessed with chess but wanted to invent his own variants like horde or crazyhouse. Instead of buying several chess sets, I whipped together something like this but with only one board option and no collab. I wish I had known about this sooner!
- SamBam 5y agoWhen I was looking to buy pieces for a custom Onitama set I made, I discovered the universe of "fairy chess pieces," or non-standard pieces with different moves or powers. The classic one is the Amazon, which is a combination Queen and Knight (hard to google "amazon chess piece," of course...), but there's also the Empress, the Elephant, the Camel... With easier access to 3D printing, there's now a whole world of these.
