Reformed Courier-Spiel Chess Expansion

Purpose

The game requires several extra pieces that aren't included in a standard chess set, so here they are.

These designs are based on Corinthian helmets and dory spears.

Manufacture

Print the pieces with spiral vase mode enabled, as well as sequential mode. In each color, you'll need:

• 1 champion

• 1 paladin

• 2 archers

• 4 pawns

Print the bases with no top, no infill, and 0.6mm of total bottom thickness. Use sequential mode and a total wall thickness of 1.2mm.

You'll need 4 bases in each color. Glue 2 pennies inside each base. Glue the champion, paladin, and archers on top of the pennies.

Combine this expansion set with the standard set of Chessmen in Spiral Vase Mode or with whatever standard chess set you already have.

Now all you need is an 8x12 checkerboard, and you're ready to play the extra-wide game of Reformed Courier-Spiel!
