When posts about Star Trek inspired products come our way – as fascinating as they often are – we usually pass them by, but when that product is sent by the former editor of the Star Wars Insider, co-creator of Star Wars Celebration and the mind behind the official Star Wars, Star Trek and Lord of the Rings fan clubs Dan Madsen, then you gladly make an exception. Take a closer look at Vertical Chess, a 60’s inspired Trek homage that it would be illogical to ignore.
Chess… the vertical frontier. This is the game so enjoyable that not having fun would be highly illogical. Its weekly mission: to explore new ways of playing chess. To seek out new ways of making friends (and enemies). To boldly play chess in a completely new way! Available as a men’s and women’s T-shirt, mug and poster. Order here – https://www.rollacrit.com/collections/vertical-chess
