A classic, dialed up in color and pattern. This set does both chess and checkers, depending on where the night takes you. 

It comes with 24 playing pieces and a small booklet for rules, or for settling the kind of friendly disputes that somehow aren’t that friendly.

Everything tucks neatly into the wooden box, finished with a magnetic snap that’s quietly satisfying. It’s the kind of detail you don’t think about until you notice it, and then you do, every time.

This isn’t something you pack away after playing. It tends to stay out, sitting comfortably alongside your books and other objects, ready for a game or just doing its thing. A familiar classic, just with a little more personality.
