Baby Steps

Well, as you can see I won’t go with the classic square chess-board, but rather with a hexagonal one. This kind of layout will, in my opinion, add more depth to the gamplay by forcing the player to take into consideration two types of reflections: the 45 degrees reflection and the 90 degrees one; not just the 90 degrees one, as in regular Laser Chess.

Also, I initally thought that a board with 61 tiles would suffice, but after receiving a bit of feedback I’ve decided to stick to a 127 tile layout, which will allow me to add up to 4 new pieces for each player and hopefully lengthen the actual play-time of a game.

I’ve added a screenshot with the new 127 tile board and also 1 (finished?) model.
