Dragonchess [Permalink]

Ever wanted to try a 3-D chess variant? You should try DragonChess. It's a game created by Gary Gygax - the inventor of D&D himself! It appeared for the first (and only?) time in Dragon magazine issue #100 waaaay back when. I got my hands on a copy of the rules and i've been obsessed with it ever since.

It was what got me interested in painting models. All of my models were originally intended as pieces for the game (and many of them still are - although it's taken me years, i'm getting close to having a full set). The rules can be found at the Chess Variants website, as well as on a local link here.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. If you're interested in a game, let me know. I've also created a computer version (2-player only, no computer AI) that's not too bad. And in addition, there's a program called Zillions of Games that has a plugin for computer AI DragonChess (although the algorithm isn't too smart).

So, put the program on your site so I can download and play it.

I would, but your server won't let me. Say's it's too big. It's only 2 megs. What's up with that?
