"Back in the early '50s I was captivated by the first ERB Mars book I read: THE CHESSMEN OF MARS by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I created my first Jetan
set (Barsoomian Chess) out of hand-cut cardboard circles on which I drew
symbols representing the player pieces described by ERB at the end of
his novel. I then pestered my sister and cousins to to join me in
endless sessions of Jetan. Sixty years later I still have some of these
crude little gems and have scanned them for posterity. My interest in
the game was revived in recent times by the aquisition of the
beautifully crafted set from sculptor/artist, James Spratt." ~ Bill Hillman http://www.erbzine.com/mag4/0426.html
