Kids and Sovereign Chess

When we play test our game we find that kids really enjoy Sovereign Chess.  The colorfulness of the board is attractive and they like the creative thinking that comes from a new and different way to play chess.  If you know traditional chess, it's a snap to learn Sovereign Chess.

Lately, we've had a couple of opportunities to talk to some school chess clubs.  We wanted something easy and tangible to put in kids' hands.  As a result, we came up with coloring sheets where players could draw their own board and pieces, learn the elements of the game, and have something to take home and play with friends and family.  

We liked our sheets so much, that we felt we had to share them with you.  To download a copy of the PDF, click here.

 

A few helpful tips:

  • Use your scissors carefully!
  • We had a hard time finding crayons that made a "dark gray" vs "light gray."  We colored both armies gray and then put a dark line across the "dark gray army."
  • Set up the board indoors and away from drafts.  Or: use some kind of putty, if you want.  One fan used bubble gum!
  • We are happy to hear from you and what you think about this.  If you have a picture or a suggestion or a question, write us here: link
