Q: What do you play 4D chess on?
A: A chesseract!
Wikipedia: Tesseract
In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square.[1] Just as the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells. The tesseract is one of the six convex regular 4-polytopes.

“When I tell people about chesseract nerds will ask ‘how do you play’ while normal people ask ‘why play 4 dimensional chess”

How do you call friends playing chess? Chess mates?
And in 4D? Chesseract mates?
This could be something to sell in the pun shop I once wanted to start
How about 4D Boggle on that board?

I heard some people say I’m playing 4D chess. They’re wrong because it’s actually called the chesseract.
