Star Trek Tri-Dimensional Chess Set
It is a Tri-Dimensional chess set from the Franklin Mint. It was played in TNG. Here is a link to one for sale on Amazon with the chess pieces included: [Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Tri-Dimensional-Chess-Franklin/dp/B0018S4WM0)
Official Star Trek Tri-dimensional chess sets can get expensive:

And if you really want to go nuts....
The board seems to run about 45 dollars on ebay. In case you want to turn it into a full set to sell....
Full set seems to run anywhere between 150 to 400 (unopened).
Amazon has a guy trying to unload 17 brand new ones for 275.
Since there seem to be a ton of new ones still in the box from the 1994 release, what you might think about doing is selling them individually on ebay, for people who need to replace a piece they've lost.
In case you are interested, there actually are published rules for the Star Trek 3D chess set. They come included in this official release: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Tri-Dimensional-Original-Franklin/dp/B0018S4WM0
You can probably find a copy of the rules online.
Turn that frown Upsidedown and enjoy some Tri-Dimensional Chess.
Hope you feel better soon!
For the lazy: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Tri-Dimensional-Chess-Franklin/dp/B0018S4WM0. I hope you have over five hundred dollars to buy this thing.

and about another few hundred links which you can find by googling "star trek chess rules"
Did you seriously think that the massive Star Trek fan base hadn't come up with rules for Star Trek chess yet?
Also, the "Custom Tri-Dimensional Chess Rules and Strategy Booklet" is included in the official Star Trek 3D chess board: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Tri-Dimensional-Chess-Franklin/dp/B0018S4WM0
Nice! - My dad has one of these at home somewhere.
I've played that on Star Trek!
When I saw the title I thought of this.
