    In response to this post:
    3. I have the game, but the Franklin Mint has stopped producing it as they phased out all of their Star Trek lines.
    They are? nooooooOOOO, I wanted to get those little pewter starship replicas they had! *sob*
    Though I have the chess set, and it's been in a box for the last 5 years :)
    I didn't have a proper cabinet for it and i didn't want it collected dust.

    I have good news for people; a much less expensive licensed set for
    Star Trek three-dimensional chess is available from a company called
    The Noble Collection.

    Oh, and the reason I dug up this really old thread?

    On my web site, at

    http://www.quadibloc.com/chess/ch050501.htm

    I make note of the Bartmess rules for three-dimensional chess,
    note that I have some criticisms of those rules, and propose a
    modified set of rules for the game that addresses the issues
    which I have identified.

    Since Star Trek belongs to Paramount and not me, I can't
    claim a proprietary interest in these rules, so if Paramount
    and/or their licensees decided to run with them, I won't sue,
    and somehow I suspect Bartmess never did either because
    of Paramount's superseding proprietary interest in all things
    Star Trek.

    Just as a curiosity, what did you use to dig up this really old thread, and how easy was it to notice that it was a really old thread?
