Art Projects Chess Game in Color

Games that encourage teamwork and creative thinking.

A family of intricate strategy games with the flavour of chess.

A peace conference is underway, a lasting peace must be made. To realise that objective, the players each send out their diplomats to each other's camps to secure an agreement. They use their skill to find their relevant counterpart, work out a strategy and negotiate the quickest path to finish the game.

Art Projects

The games are being further developed and can be played on a variety of boards. Pieces can be made in a cornucopia of different materials . (wood, glass, fabrics, beads, etc...)

They could even be made in the form of paintings and consequently be used as art projects.

Community groups, social entrepreneurs, artists could be involved trough art and craft projects.

While beginners can play an easy introductory game, mental wizards can make combinations and study end games.
