  • __NOEDITSECTION__ Real World article(written from a Production point of view) Space Checkers is a 3-D variant of the board game checkers. It was produced by the Pacific Game Company in both 1965 (under the company name "Pleasantime") and 1971.

A version was also used in DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", during which Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax played the game during the "chicken sandwich and coffee" scene. The game looks to have been released in three versions. The earliest 1965 versions came in a plainer-styled yellow box, and had a red plastic base and clear small plastic boards (see top left). Later versions replaced the clear small boards with those made of the same red plastic as the base. The 1971 release apparently has the same small boards, but was released with a more modernized box design (see top right and lower right).
