Noble Celts Circular Chess Set
Noble Celts is a richly decorated Celtic-Saxon styled circular chess game. Chess was played on a circular board centuries ago, but this version mostly disappeared during the Dark Ages, possibly the result of the many occasions when chess was forbidden. Only in recent years has this form of chess been rediscovered and this design combines beautiful artistry with dynamic play. Although the chess pieces still move as in European Chess and those rules apply, the lack of side edges on the Noble Board make this variant a vibrant way of playing an ancient game. Exquisite cast resin chess pieces are reproduced from an original set hand-carved by award-winning game inventor and artist Don Green. Board measures approximately 26" x 26" and pieces range from 1 1/2" to 2 3/4" high. Instruction included. Imported. Web Exclusive!
