Reinventing Chess: Exploring Meeples, Unusual Boards & the Math Behind Their Moves

Reinventing Chess: Exploring Meeples, Unusual Boards & the Math Behind Their Moves | Unusual Boards and Meeples

Discover a new dimension of board game theory where classic chess pieces are reimagined as "meeples" on creatively designed game boards. This video explores the concept of reaching tours—paths where a game piece visits every space exactly once and returns to the start. Learn which meeples (including knights, rooks, queens, and more) are mathematically capable of full tours on standard and non-traditional boards. We introduce a new metric, W(M), to measure movement potential, and extend the discussion to boards made of custom shapes—even into three dimensions. This fascinating intersection of recreational mathematics, game design, and logical reasoning opens the door to innovative gameplay and puzzle creation.
