Well you can play volcano on a chessboard...
A cosmic coaster wouldn't be too hard (though it wouldn't look as cool), except the only fabric I have at the moment is the 2" chessboard stuff.
I was actually thinking of making cloth versions of the 90-120-120-30 [ee0r's] martian chess boards, but dying them/painting them would be troublesome (unless perhaps the pattern were silk screened and it just needed to be cut and hemmed). But I'm not going to get into mass-producing his stuff. Still, perhaps an Iron-on... except I don't have an ink-jet.
A set of martian coaster bags would be neat... (give them away to people with a treehouse tube and a set of the real coasters...)

Sounds neat! Random idea: make one side a chess
board, and make the other side a different board. My
first thought was a 5X5 volcano board, but it could be
anything (oooh, a cosmic coaster? might be tricky).
