Get ready for some quacky fun! Come decorate your own rubber ducky to use in a game of Duck Chess, a delightful and approachable variant of chess. All the supplies are included for this activity in our Play and Create Space, which is part of our current exhibition, Chess Variants: Transforming Tradition. No chess experience is needed to join in! This is a self-led activity, so you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like creating a playable masterpiece for the board.

Free for WCHOF members, students, seniors, and military personnel.
