Chess is one of the oldest, most recognized [boardgames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witz) in the world which makes it a staple in households everywhere, but if you're a master who has conquered the traditional board then the Three Player Chess Set is going to be the next logical option for your collection.

As the name denotes, the Three Player Chess Set reimagines the board to include a third player for gameplay that's even more difficult than before. Instead of using a traditional square aesthetic, the Three Player Chess Set board is circular to accommodate the additional pieces and make it look even more perplexing.

The best part of the Three Player Chess Set is that, while indeed more difficult, it'll help include an additional player for even more fun on [family game night](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-game-collection).
