“True-Dimensional Games” by James Harper

Familiar with checkers? Yes. Familiar with chess? Undoubtedly. Familiar with three-dimensional checkers and chess? Perhaps not.

James Harper offers a new book for strategy game enthusiasts: “True-Dimensional Games.” Jim Harper’s innovation to the games played by families for generations includes a multilevel playing area that allows for chess and checkers to be played in three dimensions.

Jim Harper’s comprehensive game guide allows for scenarios that would not be possible in the conventional ways of playing. In chess, for example, a player can employ their king to duel their opponent’s king to checkmate.

There may be other three-dimensional guides on the market, Jim Harper acknowledges, but he pledges that only this version is acknowledged by chess masters as preserving the pure orthodoxy of the games.

“True-Dimensional Games” will be of special interest to game lovers of all ages—an understanding of the rules of checkers is all that’s needed to begin. Along with the guide, the game comes ready to assemble. The completed game, made of gleaming metal and colorful durable plastic, doubles as an attractive piece of room decor.
