Star Trek Tridimensional Chess Set for 2 players

It is great, and what I thought was an very interesting chess set after I saw it on Star Trek.

Looks just like on star trek. I'm a trekkie and my friend told me i could not buy this, but i bought it anyways. I absolutely love it and it goes great with all my other geeky stuff.

As of August 7, 2023, Amazon has the best price on the internet. Chess pieces alone are selling on other sites for over 1,400.00 USD, so this is perfect. The Noble Collection reproduction is a bit smaller than the one shown on Star Trek: The Original Series, but in my opinion that makes the game more playable as the board has a smaller footprint, fits in most settings, and doesn't take up as much table space. I liked the weight and sturdiness of the chess boards themselves. The attack boards fit snugly into their slots. Mine is very a sturdy, playable piece, not flimsy. The chess pieces, modeled after the classic Peter Ganine from the show, are also accordingly a bit smaller than the ones shown on TOS, but again, this makes them more manageable. There are videos available online that show in detail how to play 3-D chess. This set also comes with good instructions. I would advise at least a novice knowledge on how to play chess: this board isn't the standard 8 files wide (a-h) but rather uses the attack boards for a-b and g-h, and the main board for c,d,e,f. So it's a bit "fiddly" if you're used to a standard chess board. It's really a lot of fun, both to learn and to play. My advice: it's well worth the money. "Risk, risk is our business. It's what this [board] was made for. That's why we're [going to play] her." Have fun, be happy, and buy this game to play with your favorite chess fan or Trekkie/Trekker. Live Long and Prosper!

I am over the moon to have a really functional, attractive tridimensional chess set. My son and I are having a blast playing games with it--as avid traditional chess fans it is a treat to explore new dimensions of the game. Unfortunately, the assembly (and, by extension, the design) seems inconsistent. The first delivered set had the upper deck badly cracked at the mounting point. The second delivery had a similar problem. In the end, I swapped levels until we had one good set. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't think this chess board is tough enough to go where no one has gone before.

Husband saw it in the big bang theory and had to have it It's still in the box lol

Great set, fills my nostalgia heart

My wife got this for me for my birthday and I love it! I’ve wanted one since I was a kid. Quality is built in from the boards to the die cast metal pieces that are nicely painted black and white, This is an accurate scale model of the board played on ST:TOS, but it is smaller than the set on the show. This board stands about 13” high, and the kings are about 1.5”. Honestly, it is the perfect height for a table because you’ll frequently wind looking over the top of the set to get your bearings. Beautiful Star Trek Tri-D chess set. You won’t be disappointed!

WHY would you attach a postal sticker to the outside of a collectors box ??? It wont come off so takes off the value OMG ???

On the plus side, this chess set does look a great deal like the actual stage prop used on the original Star Trek down to the chess pieces. It serves very well as decoration for one's home. On the negative side, it is not designed in a good way to play Tri-Dimensional Chess. Perhaps it suffers from being too much like the actual prop, but the squares on the three main levels do not line up in a good way to play according to either its own included ruleset or other rulesets that exist that were inspired by Franz Joseph's _Star Fleet Technical Manual_. Unfortunately, the positioning of the three main boards relative to each other are not easily adjustable. Also, the smaller "attack boards" are wobbly. They are usable, but fail to be elegantly so. Nevertheless, with a little imagination the board is usable for playing chess. An additional criticism is that while the rules included are playable, they are not well explained. I had to go online to see how other similar rulesets were written in order to be certain that I understood Nobel Collection's ruleset. It would have helped if the makers had included another piece of paper with examples of play to get the idea across effectively. A move notation system to record one's games would also have been a good addition. For this reason, I can't give this set five stars, or even four stars. If all that you want is decoration, I'll give it four and a half stars. The only thing that keeps it from five stars are the wobbly smaller boards.

meravigliosa scacchiera di star trek per me che sono un appassionato è stato davvero un gioiello, il prodotto è fragile quindi fate attenzione e tenetelo al meglio

Si eres fan de Star Trek esta es una pieza que si oh si debes de tener en tu colección

Super Qualität und sehr massiv. Auch im Gewicht.

I’m a lifelong fan of Chess and Star Trek. I’ve already got the original product released by the Franklin Mint and this new product is just as good from the Noble Collection. The pieces are plastic but have a good weight and a nice feel. The rules are included so you can play with opponents if you have a mind to learn the game. It’s different to normal chess but not wildly different. Looks nice in a study or on a small side table.
