Cosplay event run by Ada Palmer

Time

Saturday, January 24 beginning at 6:30 PM and running until 8:00 PM

Location

Lowell Lecture Hall (Guide to Locations)

Short Description

Watch your favorite anime/fantasy/sci-fi characters battle it out in world's most famous game of war. See Queen Akane defend the King of All Cosmos from the assaults of Drogo! Gasp as Witch Hunter Robin tries to set fire to Treebeard!

Details

How does Cosplay Human Chess work? In ordinary Human Chess, thirty-two participants act out the parts of chess pieces on a giant board as two players direct from above. Cosplay Human Chess is the same, except that all the pieces are in costume, and act out their moves as their characters would. Only the two main players need chess experience.

If there are not enough cosplayers to play chess, one of several alternatives will be played instead.

Special Requirements

Must be in costume (rooms in the Lowell Lecture Hall basement will be set aside as changing rooms) to participate, though anyone may observe.
