Three-person chess, a game mentioned on by Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory, is now a reality. It requires a specialized board, but other than that, you can just follow the rules at the link. Here's an overview from the creators:
The only changes from conventional chess are some protocol issues that must be followed to maintain order where the teams border each other, which is simple and necessary. Also, please notice that the trajectory lines orienting from the outer rank, are simply visual aids to help guide diagonal moves passing through the center. If the path is clear, a diagonal move starting from the outer rank can pass through the center and sweep back around to where it originated. The complexities of the third player are infinite. Your threatened piece may be allowed to maintain occupancy as your position is beneficial to the threatening player.

The butt sniffing thing may be the entire reason the aliens are into probing in that area (sure... I'm writing this as if that's a legit, proven fact and not something made up by some hallucinating loonies). What are these worshipped, master dogs smelling and looking for up there? Surely these orifices must contain some incredible treasure for them to have such a persistent reaction towards them, greeting their co-dogs, and any other species for that matter if opportunity is there, with an immediate nose-to-ass "how do you do?". Bring up the specimens. Investigate. Probe!
Awwww, shit.
