Klin Zha uses a triangular board and triangular cells.  It's a quite
enjoyable game.

The index at
http://www.chessvariants.com/index/mainquery.php?type=Any&category=Shape
lists several games with unusual-shaped boards, including several
triangular ones:  Beryl Chess, Chess for Three, Diamond Chess II,
Dino-Czars, Pirate Chess, Sankaku Shogi, Triangle Chess, and
Trystilmatian Chess,
