A square board of 64 checkered squares no doubt is “Chess” with which we are all familiar with. The popular game between two players is like a battle ground for kings, queens, knights etc., which proceeds with intelligent moves from each side trying to win over the other. This is the same game but looks like “kingdom” has been replaced by “citydom” or “towndom”!

The conflicting playing pieces that you see are handcrafted from exotic wood in the shape of well known buildings and other architectural styles and the board is made of solid zebrawood and whangee. The building forms are from cities like  San Francisco, New York and Chicago. It is the Steve Vigar chess set and is available with or without drawers.

As seen in the pictures below, the buildings and houses provide an amazing view with each piece so meticulously crafted.

Price? Starts from a whopping $2100 for the base design (without the drawers).
