Chess (NYC + Virtual)

Did you know that the Queen was originally a weak chess piece until Queen Isabella of Spain became the most powerful woman in Europe in the late 15th century and demanded that the Queen must become the strongest chess piece on the board by being able to move in all directions?!

No prior chess skill is required. This experience promotes communication, quick thinking, decision-making, and collaboration.
