Not every successful game involves shooting aliens or saving the world. Board games, and chess, in particular, have a history that spans thousands of years. In this tutorial, you’ll build a 3D chess game in Unity.
Brian, can you tell me if it’s possible to build a chess variant in Unity using a 5x5 board and unique piece designs like these:

No reason you can’t. I think the sample for the article used a board model, so you’d have to adapt that.
So random introduction of pieces to the back row is not a problem?
And using 3D piece designs from .STL files is doable?
The thing with developing a game is you can add whatever rules you want. I can’t remember what rules we put in the sample for what moves are valid, but yes - you can setup whatever you want.
As far as model files to use - I don’t know what model formats are supported in Unity. Even if they aren’t supported, you should be able to find a tool to convert them.
Hope that helps
