Chess, but the board bends — and three minds clash.

TriChess reimagines chess on a 169-cell hexagonal board built for three players at once. More directions to move, more pieces per side, and a whole new layer of alliances, betrayals, and voted resignations.

169 cells, three home bases, no edge of the board is ever truly safe.

Three-player diplomacy
