A chess-based game system which is a novel variation of traditional chess, includes a unique gameboard, and a new “Jester” game piece, in addition to the pieces of traditional chess. Furthermore, the disclosed system game rules provide for unique moves and a variable initial setup of the game pieces.

A tile game system is provided that includes a plurality of two-dimensional and three-dimensional components. The two-dimensional components can include a plurality of modular tiles provided in various sizes and configurations that can be joined together to form a grid-based gameplay area. The three-dimensional components can include external boundaries for the gameplay area, internal boundaries, terrain elements such as columns and staircases, and game figures. According to aspects of the present disclosure, the external and internal boundaries can be provided with recessed sections that allow a game figure to be contained within a single grid square and prevent the grid of the gameplay area from becoming warped. According to some aspects of the present disclosure the internal and external boundaries can be illuminated and provided with removable and interchangeable light-permeable skins that allow a user to switch between various illuminated designs.

This invention relates to a modular gaming map, where a set of components can be assembled into a variety of configurations to create a three-dimensional map as a supplement for simulated battles and role-playing games, and compatible with industry standard figurines and models.
