Simply the greatest Chess board EVER!
BlindsideDork | 11:12 AM on 08.19.2008 17 comments


I nearly pissed my pants when I saw this baby. In chess, no one can hear you scream...probably cause you have to be really quiet but I think with this board they would make an exception. I mean look at it!




Not sure why they are gold there.

Can you get any more epic than that?! One side is Weyland, the other side is the Alien take over. There isn't a picture of the Marine pieces but here's the Xenomorphs...



Don't worry, the greatness doesn't stop there. Nice board but it is even nicer that you can store all the pices inside of it. Pure win, huh?



Would've been better if it looked like a dropship but beggars can't be choosers right?

I have no clue how much it costs, I don't think it is on sale. Sad panda. But if It was, expect a couple hundred easily. If you want more pics in the meantime, TheDesignBlog can help you out.

You'd trample this if there was a TF2 chess set.

The Facehugger chess pieces look weird, but it's still pretty awesome.

That would be too much epicness...it could not exist.

Plus 9 characters, 6 pieces.

Not much variety for the aliens.

I'm not a big fan of chess piece sets in which each piece is kind of hard to differentiate from another. I mean the main difference with some is that the alien is in different poses.

A TF2 chess set MUST be achieved. Scout as the pawn, Heavy and Medic as king and queen, Soldier as knight etc.

Someone make it happen.

That is pretty awesome. They should've stuck a Predator or two in there, though.

I agree with Matlox, it looks cool but its too hard to tell many of the pieces apart. What I really want is a Mario chess set.

Mario and Peach as king and queen, mushroom people as pawns, then on the opposite side would be Bowser and Kammy Koopa as King and Queen and goombas as their pawns.
Im kinda tempted to try and make a set of it myself.

This has been around for at least a year and the pricetag I saw was around $350. I forget who was selling it.

This is cool but the greatest? I think not. They have a Star Trek: Next Generation Chess set similar to this that is unreal.

Correction, the greatest chess board is contained in this game

I've seen similar fancy collector's chess sets based on movie/tv properties before, but this is easily the most awesome.
