If those three-dimensional chess [wiki] you see on Star Trek is too easy for you, try this one out: the 3D8 Chess!

    ACK! I can’t even play it with ONE board, much less EIGHT!

    I’ll leave that to Vulcans and Time Lords, thanks.

    Sounds like this is an Asimov invention–found in Wikipedia…:

    “Isaac Asimov’s science fiction short story A Perfect Fit refers to a 3D chess game which is effectively eight chessboards stacked upon each other, making the playing area cubic rather than square (that is, exactly one dimension more than ordinary 2D chess).”
