Yalta: three person chess

Sort:
MinervaOwl

I'm trying to find a mat for Yalta, a three person chess variant.  (See https://www.chessvariants.com/multiplayer.dir/yalta.html)

I liked Yalta because it seems to remain 'faithful' to regular chess (e.g. not introducing new objects like moats).  Does anyone know if there are other 'faithful' three person variants that play better?

Finally, does anyone know where I could find a mat - or find someone who'd be willing to make me one?  (I'd discovered Yalta at L'oeuf Cube in Paris in the 1980s, but they don't carry it anymore.)

Thanks!

Thanks @evert823: a very good idea - I'm tracking down professional vinyl printing services now
