It is a three dimensional trapezoid, with the larger square base as the square on the board.

Yes, of course I've been brainstorming it since I saw that. :)

Of course you could just make a similar board yourself.

After doing some math, I don't think you can fit large pyramids in the middle.  Calculating from the overall size of the board and a guesstimation of the height, the internal octagon is about an inch. :(

It costs more than a hundred bucks, but this roll-up chess board could surely store some pyramids inside…

If you are rich, check it out. :)
