This medieval-themed chess game will take you back to the life of the nobility in the Middle Ages.
The kings, knights, queens and chess pieces of the castle turret invoke the aesthetics of the time.
The 15 inch board with walnut and maple colored squares is intentionally aged to match the antique style brown and ivory colored chess pieces.
The chess pieces feature intricate detail and invoke Celtic and 14th century aesthetics in their design.
Modern chess was invented in Europe, based on an Arabic game (Shatranj) which was based on an Indian game (Chaturanga).
During the Middle Ages, it spread throughout Europe and evolved into the game we know and love today.
Chess is a game of infinite variations and perhaps the most difficult game of strategy ever created. It has lasted through the centuries and is played in all corners of the world.
