Q*Bert Floating Chess – 3D Isometric Board Game | Retro Puzzle-Meets-Strategy

Reimagine chess with Q*Bert’s iconic pyramid mechanics!

✔ Floating Board – Multi-tiered isometric grid (like Q*Bert’s levels) where pieces “hover” on cubes
✔ Chess with a Twist – Classic rules, but movement requires diagonal jumps (no lateral moves)
✔ Themed Pieces:

• King: Q*Bert (must protect from “coily” checks)

• Queens: Slick & Sam (enemies from Q*Bert lore)

• Bishops: Snaky the snake

• Knights: Ugg & Wrongway (jump unpredictably)

• Pawns: Coily eggs (hatch into queens!)
  ✔ Power-Ups:

• Discs: Temporarily “teleport” a piece (like Q*Bert’s escape discs)

• Green Ball: Freeze an opponent’s piece (1 turn)

How to Play:

1. Setup: Arrange pieces on the pyramid’s base tier.

2. Movement: Pieces jump diagonally (like Q*Bert) but follow chess logic.

3. Win: Checkmate the opponent’s Q*Bert (king) or trap all remaining pieces.

Includes:

• Printable STL files for board/pieces

• Rulebook with Q*Bert-themed scenarios

• Optional “arcade mode” (timed turns, respawning enemies)

Perfect For:

• Retro gaming collectors

• Chess clubs seeking variant rules

• 3D printing hobbyists
