Hello everyone,

My name is Ricky. I thought this would be a good place to introduce my work.

I recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a chess set I designed that is inspired by honey bees. I hope you all take the time to visit my project page and see my work! Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a shot of one side of the board. I hope you all enjoy!

 Here is the link to my project page wich has a video of me talking about this project:

Nope : ) but I do have a concept for a matching board!

I was thinking the same thing: use hexagons like a honeycomb. But you'd have to lay them out within a square grid instead of the usual hexagonal (skewed 3-way) grid in which honeycombs are normally laid out.

Yes. I am taking many things into account, such as the layout of the board and the aesthetics. It will be really nice. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress of the board for sure!

Now I want some tea with honey. Thanks for the post, Ricky.
