ABSTRACT:
A three dimensional chess game is provided, having multiple tiers with role-static pieces and role-altering pieces, the latter pieces being able to assume more than one role during the present game. For example, the role-altering pieces can change roles when they move between the upper and lower tiers, or when they participate in captures, that is, capturing or being captured. Also, the roles of the role-altering pieces may include roles that are similar to and/or different from those of the role-static pieces. To emphasize the change in roles or capacities, the role-altering pieces can be physically altered to reflect or signify their different roles. For example, the Helicopters may have removable upper blade portions positionable on lower portions which resemble the Pawns. Also, for example, the Planes may have removable upper wing portions positionable on lower portions which resemble the Bishops.
