Chess is one of the most classic board games of our time. It is a game that requires a high-level of thinking, planning, and strategy. We have seen many types of chess boards over the years; giant ones, themed boards, and more. English designers Ian Flood and Chris Prosser had a different approach to chess however. They decided to make themed pieces to celebrate architecture, specifically the skyline of NYC. Their "Skyline Chess" board is a beautiful representation of some of the most famous buildings in New York. The pieces are represented as follows:
- King - One World Trade Tower
- Queen - Empire State Building
- Bishop - Chrysler Building
- Knight - Flatiron Building
- Rook - Guggenheim Museum
- Pawn - Brownstone House
The Skyline Chess board is now available for pre-order via kickstarter, and they are over half-way funded with 27 days to go. Check out the video below and make sure to head over to their kickstarter page.
