Here are some photographs of a setup for Darren Izzard's game Philosophers Chess, pieced
together from my Chess
Construction Set. The squares are 2 inch squares of
posterboard. Most of the pieces come from my four medium sized Chess
sets of the same make. You see some Bishops sitting on the side. These
were used for Enlightened Philosophers. For the Philosophers, we used
generic game piece pawns, which I bought for 15 cents each in a gaming
store. We used a blue poker chip for the Thought. The dice along the
side were used to mark the ranks of the field. A domino bone was used
to mark the ranks of the mind. Half tiles along each side of the
field and one side of the mind were used to mark the files. Only the
ones made with a permanent marker are showing up well in the
photos.
