TT (tm) (pronounced "pie") takes the traditional game of chess and turns it into a fast paced free-for-all involving as many players as you can fit in the room! It preserves both the number of squares and the power of the pieces while allowing multiple players by stretching one side of the board to form an arc. Several curved boards can be placed together to form an annular (doughnut) shape and rectangular board segments can also be added to the curved segments to allow even more people to play together. There are many ways to play TT (tm), but our favorite is with 4 players in a double team format. Each player controls two teams which are placed back to back on adjacent board segments. Each player�s teams consists of a dark and li ght shade of one colour so that each player�s pieces are distinct and teams can go in either direction around the board. Players can form temporary or long term alliances and handicaps can be introduced to make the game more even.
