Chess Mania
I haven’t mentioned that my family’s [and co] favorite hobby is chess. And the problem is that I’m dead serious. Two people playing chess in the Assi household is more of a constant than fresh air in the Assi household. It is cool and everything, except that I am the only person who finds it boring, so I usually feel left out.
Here are some really cool chess sets though that I have to share, in dedication to the chess-maniacs I share blood with.
Pirates vs Ninjas
I’m personally a pirate person, so I’d probably pick the Ninjas since I’ll probably lose :) I can’t figure out how the different stones can be distinguished from each other, but whatever, they’re pretty, that’s often all that matters.
Arr. Haha. Love you Lil’ Arr.
Rolling Stone Chess Set
Okay, this sounds boring until you are told that it is actually made from Rolling Stone magazine covers. Even the pieces! Way cool.
Auto Part Chess Set
The title says it all. The chess set literally made from junk. Except it looks nice. Click on the image to zoom.
Platonic Chess
My favorite from this collection. I love the simplicity, the strong “white versus black” concept, and the space age look. Gorgeous.
Although I can’t imagine how anyone would play with this, it still looks damn cool. It’s so Lord of the Rings, with a climb to victory and all.
