The hand crafted and painted science sci-ence fiction game won the "People's Choice" award at the Utah State Fair. Star Chess Admirals is a chess strategy game taken to the next dimension. Unlike chess that has 64 squares. Star Chess Admirals has 211 hexagons that accommodate play by two to six players. The hand caned pieces include a Star Base, Fighter, Interceptor, Attack Cruiser, Heavy Cruiser and Flag Ship. The game was devised after several sever-al of the brothers in the family w anted ant-ed to play chess together, but there were no chess games available for more than two players. So while two brothers played chess, the. others developed a chess game that would allow all six brothers to play at once. Being a science fiction fan, it was natural for Jayson Goodrich to develop a game with a sci-fi theme. The game pieces, the board and the chairs have sci-fi characteristics. Jayson Goodrich came up with the idea to incorporate hexagons and to design a game for up to six players. He designed two of the fleets after an anthology of a novel that he is currently writing. Troy Goodrich was the first to start on a set of space type game pieces. His design originated from a section from an old hay mower which he turned intq a space ship. This fleet is called the Terran or Earth' Fleet. Troy also made a second sec-ond fleet called the Argonian Fleet which he designed after a dog which he owned called Argon. J. Laron Goodrich helped design the U.F.O. fleet, which later became known as the Hamalian fleet. It was intentionally designed with few surface sur-face details as that little was know about them at the time. Benjamin F. Goodrich designed the Traneb Iango Fleet. (Traneb is backward for Ben art.) One of the major member races of the continuum. continu-um. All six of the fleets were carved out of hardwoods with exception of about a dozen pieces that w ere made out of pine. It has been over three years in the developmental stage of the game. "We feel that the strategies and moves we have worked out over the course of many late nights are as near to the original chess as the for- V Hand carved and painted chess pieces represent science fiction battle bat-tle forces. m V7 iL, ilMii wmm w ini .

The hexagons hexa-gons required three separate colors to maintain a uniform color dispersal disper-sal pattern on the game board. "This required us to employ the use of three interceptors (bishops) to cover all three hex colors. "We took the liberty of adding an extra attack cruiser (knight) and heavy cruiser (rook)," Jayson said. "In order to maintain the original county of 16 pieces we reduced the number of fighters (pawns) to five. The Goodriches plan to commercially commer-cially market the game. They have filed for a patent and incorporated in 1999 as Star Games Strategies, Inc. "The commercial version of the game should be out soon," Jayson said.
