I just bought this chess board looks fun but I noticed that the cover of the box is wrong I guess bad marking but I can't wait to learn to play it.
This game can be found at Walmart.com and Amazon.com. It costs $25. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10669096 http://www.amazon.com/John-N-Hansen-529-Strato/dp/B000J00XI0 If someone buys this, please post the full rules.
I owned the game in the 70's but it wasn't 's' shaped...it was the traditional three regular 8x8 boards overlapping by 1 square so they were somewhat offset instead of directly over each board and the way we used to play was regular chess moves uninterrupted and costing one move for each level jump (directly up) so you actually had to think with multi-level possibilities since telegraphing forth coming moves was entirely too obvious. One player began on the top and the second began on the bottom with normal set-up...jumps to the middle made play functional. It was my favorite game growing up because my dad who taught me how to play never mastered it...we didn't play much after I mastered it. I haven't played much chess since I lost that board and I'm looking for another. I've been watching Trek since it began and never noticed the similarity. My board came from May Cohens in Jacksonville, Florida...a now defunct company...don't know who made it. Any hope on finding one interests me...let me know.
I HAVE PURCHASED THE STRATO CHESS GAME AT AN ANTIQUE STORE BUT I HAVE NOW IDEA HOW TO PLAY IT. I DONT KNOW IF YOU GO ACROSS THE BORED BUT ON THREE LEVELS OR YOU GO FRO TOP RIGHT TO BOTTOM LEFT IN A 'Z' PATTERN. I KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHES BUT I DO NOT KNOW 3D CHESS CAN YOU HELP AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME? THANX
