Five-Job Checkers

A known checkers game made into an architectural portrait of the Workshop's five jobs.

A checkers board for design reviews. Built for teams who trade the screen for a table during evening critiques: standard English checkers, rules unchanged, on an 8x8 grid sized for real play. The five-ring and five-spoke pieces read apart by touch as well as sight, so a rematch works as easily under lamp light as under office hours.

Checkers, exactly as everyone knows it. The board carries a full 8x8 grid at just over half an inch per cell, sized for real games with nothing about setup or movement changed. It is built to sit out and get played, not just displayed, ready for a rematch whenever an evening design review runs long.

Two piece styles, one set of rules. Twelve five-ring pieces and twelve five-spoke pieces let each side be told apart by touch and silhouette, not just color. Five raised bars run along the board's edge, one for each Workshop step - Wish, Make, Playtest, Instructions, Deliver - turning setup into a small piece of process history.

An architect's take on a classic. The board's face carries a restrained chevron grid rather than plain checkerboard squares, finished with the fine layer lines of real 3D printing. The five threshold bars catch warm accent color against the board's ivory body, giving the set a quiet, architectural presence on a shelf.
