Ok, Warp's chess set inspired me.
But what about "Dame" (don't know the english word for it)?

It is a very WIP pic. But i thought, i should show it....


best wishes,


Robert

Americans would call it "checkers."  I could be wrong, but I think the 
English still call it "draughts."

I am not much of a game player, but I remember we used to have the 10x10 
draught-board (sp?) ? Looks nice though.

10x10? Sounds unusual to me. We are playing on a 8x8 draught-board ;)

Best wishes,

The rules are different in every country : 8x8/10x10, long moves for
promoted pawns, backward taking etc.
