Ventureboard springs into action in a moment so you can spend time playing and not rummaging! At the touch of a hand, it unrolls from a compact hexagonal cylinder to a readily playable chess board. Pieces can be stored in their starting positions so no setup time is needed. Save your game anytime, instantly. Ventureboard is ready to roll when you are. A quick flick of the wrist will lock your game safely in a magnetically sealed compartment. Thanks to neodymium magnets on each piece, Ventureboard can be stowed, tossed, or rolled without displacing pieces or losing your game. You can pick up where you left off whenever and wherever you like. Ventureboard gives your senses a much-needed break from the digital. With rugged interlocking panels, symmetrically hinged assembly, and magnetized pieces, it provides a tactile experience unlike any other. Ventureboard’s patented folding mechanism naturally forms a flat surface when open. This means you can play while hiking, skiing/snowboarding, or traveling by car. No need to worry about pieces sliding, slipping, or getting lost! Pass the board back and forth in mid-air without any risk of your game falling or tipping. Ventureboard’s panels interlock on six different planes when rolled up. This makes it act mechanically like a single block that resists shearing stress and protects the hinges. The board and pieces are nested away in the internal compartment so they will never be scratched by your other gear. High-grade neodymium magnets keep the board closed when rolled up. This technology allows for tremendous magnetic force to be supplied in a small surface area, which keeps the board’s profile lean and light. We iterated and kept iterating until we found the perfectly playable pieces. When designing for unparalleled ease of use, we kept the following criteria in mind: Grip comfort, Ease of piece movement, and Stability when the board is moved, shaken, or bumped. Ability to discern pieces easily. A travel board presents inherent challenges, as pieces are easy to lose on the move. While we originally tested individually carved pieces, we quickly discovered that it was too difficult to determine which piece was which. Ventureboard was made by and for lovers of the outdoors. It will be the only travel chess set you will ever need and will help you bring gaming out into our beautiful world.
