ABSTRACT:
A chess board/box housing having a top wall of a chess board pattern with a prehistoric scene superimposed over 64 alternately colored white and dark green playing squares, arranged to selectively receive groupings of specific dinosaur chess pieces. The prehistoric scene includes continents and land masses as they are perceived to have existed (i.e. Jurassic or Triassic period). The underside of the playing board will have a raised and landscaped terrain with mountains, volcanoes, ponds, palm trees, etc., for the use in "imaginary" dinosaur play. The game is housed in a square (14".times.14"), 6"-8" deep box, with a 1/8" to 1/4" lip to store or house the game pieces when not in use, or for use when playing the Board Game side of Tyrannosaurs Chess. Conversely, the same "housing" apparatus may be used, if desired, to keep in place the terrain/landscaped inverted board.
