I put up a PDF of a CAD drawing of the plans (much easier to read than my Tom&Jerry blueprints).

http://geekhaven.cryptomancer.com/downloads/RedSaturn/Volcano%20Bag%201-1.pdf

There should be room for a 5x5 board or even a 6x6 board on the inside, given a bag about the size of a bandanna and a 2" grid.

Black suggested I put a 3 player martian chessboard on the back, but I was thinking that A: the looneys were going to put that out themselves with a 5 player reversed with the next martian chess set (if ever...) or perhaps alone...

And then you can't make the closed bag look like an erupting volcano... (I'm thinking brown/black for the base, with red/orange/yellow around the edges (possibly some kind of blender fabric or tye dye). I'm also thinking of putting this image ( http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Kristin/Games/pics/VolcanoLogo.gif) on the corner of the board using this method ( http://www.thimble.ca/?p=121)... (would need to convert it to monochrome, but that's not hard)

Of course it's being worn... It wouldn't nearly be as fun otherwise. (like the looney's christmas gift of all those years ago).

Except the human game board didn't involve stacking pieces...

PS: it's hard to claim anonymity if your name's at the top.

OH that would be fun... Is the corset being worn or not? It'll be like real uneven terrain! Maybe magnetic pyramids.... Or Lego type pyramids.  Magnetic, glow in the dark pyramids!
 
I should know better than to surf the web while atching David Letterman and reading mesage boards and being up past  bedtime and drinking hot cocoa.
 
I am claiming temporary insanity as to why I did not evenbother to read the webiste or the link I sent.
 
But I am liking the idea of magnetic pyramids. I like anything magnetic.

I suppose playing volcano on someone's corset would be interesting... but it would be too difficult to keep the pieces from falling off if they stack too high.

Besides, you can't really play on their back because of all the laces.


...The place I got the fabric is just out at the moment.... thanks though :)

cool idea. It's a game I have not learned yet. It sounds intertesting.
have you checked online for checker fabric?
I found some online, but didn;t check out the price.
 
And there were other places that had checkerboard fabric.

Info and graphics on my blog... I've got a crazy idea for putting a volcano board in a drawstring bag (which could then be used to hold the pyramids)
