Description

Use the chessboard to create your own tales of valor and victory with the Legends of the Crusades Chess Set. European warriors of the Middle Ages battle Middle Eastern opponents as the factions clash in a game of skill and strategy. The highly detailed figures are crafted from marble resin, a durable material that will retain its color and quality for many battles to come, and they are hand-painted for a realistic look. This set is perfect for display, and two size options are available, with kings 3.25 or 4.5 inches tall, and the base of each piece is 1.12W or 1.5 inches respectively.


The chessboard is constructed of solid hardwood. Choose a 15-inch cherry or oak board or the marbled wood storage board, each with 1.75L x 1.75W inch squares, for the smaller set; choose an 18-inch walnut board or 19-inch cherry or maple board, each with 2L x 2W inch squares, for the larger set.

    As a father of three teenage and adult boys who has enjoyed many games over years. I feel that the game of chess has taught my boys strategy and how to become better analytical thinkers.

    When the set arrived the whole family (including my wife) was impressed with the craftsmenship of the painted pieces and the chess board. The website pictures do NOT do the pieces and board justice. We were surprised how much better the quality of the pieces and board were after opening the box. The impression we have is the set is worth significantly more what we paid for it and believe it is an excellent value for many more years to come.

    I highly recommend this set to anyone who is seeking a true historical look of the Crusades with excellent quality.

      The pieces were hand painted with care,each piece has good weight and nice size if you get the 4.5 in: pieces. I also got the storage board with the cherry finish on the sides, very very nice. Glad I bought this set, very pleased with the quality

                For the price this is a great set. The pieces are a little light so there fall over relativly easily, but other then that a great set.
