The physical set is not mass-produced yet.
Right now, physical Cube Chess exists as a prototype direction, not as an inexpensive retail product. Making a few prototypes is possible, but it is slow and expensive. Making many good sets at a reasonable price requires tooling, manufacturing partners, packaging, testing, fulfillment, and enough people who actually want one.
That is why this page is not pretending a Kickstarter is already happening. It is not. The honest first step is building a community large enough to make future production realistic.
Prototype stage
The current physical direction is still too time-consuming and costly for casual sales. A prototype can prove the idea. It does not automatically solve production.
Community first
Before any crowdfunding campaign makes sense, CubeChess needs players, testers, collectors, chess variant fans, and curious supporters gathered in one place.
Future production
If enough people show real interest, BrainyToys LLC and Pawel Bodytko may explore crowdfunding, preorders, manufacturing quotes, or another practical path.
Why the physical cube is different from the online game
The website is the playable gateway. It teaches the geometry, lets people test the rules, and gives the community a place to form. The physical cube adds another problem: the object must work in the hand and on the table.
The pending US patent application concerns the physical Cube Chess apparatus: the cube-shaped board, six 4×4 faces, extended walls, construction, and related physical set design. It was filed under Pawel Bodytko’s name and is published as US20260014451A1, “Physical 3D Chess Cube with Extended Walls.”
Patent-pending notice: the application concerns the physical apparatus, not chess itself, not the general idea of online play, and not a claim that every chess variant belongs to CubeChess. The goal is to protect the practical physical implementation long enough to make real sets possible.
What the future supporter list is for
This is not a purchase order. It is not a deposit. It is not a promise that a campaign will launch. It is a way to measure whether enough people care about a physical Cube Chess set to justify the next expensive step.
Supporters may include chess players, chess clubs, collectors, 3D chess fans, educators, toy/game stores, streamers, and anyone who wants to see a real cube-shaped chess set become affordable instead of remaining a rare prototype.
Join the future physical-set interest list
Your email is stored privately. You are only saying: “Tell me if the physical Cube Chess set moves toward crowdfunding, production, testing, or preorders.” No newsletters, no spam.
Help prove the set should exist.
The best way to support a future physical set is simple: play CubeChess online, share the site, invite friends, create puzzles, and help show that this is more than a clever object. A game earns production by being played.
