No Reserve Collector's Item Next Generation Star Trek Tridimensional Chess SetSix Attack Planes! This collectible set is in mint condition. This is a fantastic addition to any Star Trek Fans Collection! Based on the chess set played by characters from the Next Generation Star Trek® television show, The Franklin Mint sold this collectable back in the 90's. This is one is rare as not as many of these were sold as the Original Series version which only had four attack planes. Plus the base is gold plated and the base on the original series version was a pewter color. The dark squares on the acrylic playing boards are brown instead of the blue of the Original Series version. The game board consists of three platforms measuring approx. 4x4 inches, and six smaller attack planes measuring 2x2 inches. Comes with 32 playing pieces coated with sterling silver and 24 karat gold. Six (6) Attack Planes This set has not been played with and has only been set up for display. This set does not include the original styrofoam shipping box. INCLUDES Certificate of Authenticy. (It has been folded on one corner) Paramount Rules. and original paperwork from Franklin Mint. Includes the original ad in the collectors magazine. All three playing boards are mounted securely and all 6 attack planes fit upright in all possible places. I have a mint version of this set in the custom made display box in my Ebay Chess Store in the Star Trek section. ( CLICK ) Note: I'm adding for free the Federation Standard Star Trek Tri-D Chess Rules written by Andrew Bartmess! This is the standard that all Star Trek 3D chess rules are derived from. They were written years before the Franklin Mint produced the collectible. The Federation Standard Rules come in a neat, well-illustrated 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" booklet, with a sharp electric blue 60# stock cover. (not shown) They include specific rules about the more elaborate six-attack board version of the game as well. The FS 5.0 rules includes also the Klingon, Cardassian, and Ferengi variations of the game. A must have for anyone wanting to play Star Trek 3D Chess! is a quote from his book about this 6 attack version of the game: I found this on the internet about 6 attack planes. Six Attack Boards, No Waiting T is also a known board variation using six attack boards. You may find yourself curious as to w they begin the game, or how they move, as others have failed to document that. 's my view on that variation: The two additional attack boards begin the game located attached to the e3(4) and the b6(4) pins, and are referred to as the "Neutral Levels" (or NL's). They start the game as unclaimed fixed Levels, and cannot be moved by either side. The first player to move a chess piece onto either board takes possession of that attack board, gaining control of it as an attack craft, and this changes the Level's designation to a "White Level" (WL), or "Black Level>" (BL), respectively. Note that the close proximity of these Neutral Levels to each side's King's Level means that the logical move is to strike out immediately with a Pawn, and claim the Level early in the game. The Neutral Level may also be claimed with a more powerful piece than a Pawn, but as usual, it can only be moved when occupied by a Pawn or less. Do watch your additional Levels carefully, however, as they are just as easily hijacked from your control should your opponent take your last piece off the Level.
