Christmas Gifts: 3-player and tri-dimensional

For Christmas, my wife gave me 3-man chess and Star Trek tridimensional chess sets:

I have always wanted them but never had anyone to play with me until now. I look forward to getting into them.

Does anyone have any experience playing these games? My online surfing gave me limited information.

I've never played but they look like so much fun. The only board I saw like the Star Trek one was on the big bang theory. Lol.

The noble collection board is actually a bit wonky and difficult to play on, which is a shame, because it is the best quality commercial board available.
Don't use the rules accompanying it though, they are not deemed particularly good, by the tri dimensional chess community.
Board game geeks list the more mainstream rules, the most popular of which it seems are the W3DCF rules, written by a pilot to better teach three dimensional aerial combat:
