Octagonal Chess Set

This compact and stylish Octagonal Chess Set is perfectly proportioned for a quick battle of wits at home or on the go—and it’s especially great for dorm rooms and small apartments, where space is at a premium. Featuring all-wood construction, the board’s unique octagonal shape allows for storage drawers on either side to house the pieces, making it travel-friendly and tidy. The carved Staunton chess pieces are perfectly weighted and balanced for easy play on the compact surface (something that can’t be said for all the cramped “travel” sets we’ve sampled through the years). Proudly display this board on your coffee table or desk, where it will signal that you’re always up for a game. Keep your grown mind razor sharp or introduce your favorite youngster to a game they’ll play for the rest of their lives. Measures 13” by 13” and stands 2 ½” tall.
