A chessboard built from two skylines. Set the board on a kitchen table and line up two rows of tower-shaped pieces, each one a distinct Ho Chi Minh City silhouette standing in for king, queen, rook, bishop, knight and pawn. Play moves by standard chess rules. It suits anyone who wants game night to double as a skyline on the table.
Move by move, standard rules. Lift a piece from its square, slide it across the grid to an open or occupied space, and set it down; a capture clears the square the same way. The board holds a full 7.9 inch by 7.9 inch grid under standard chess rules, no house variants, so any opponent can sit down and start immediately.
Fine layer lines, tight fit. Each piece carries a crisp, layered finish that catches light along every setback and spire, no sanding needed. The tallest piece stands 3.0 inches, and the flat base of every piece sits square on its grid square without wobble or gap.
Two armies, six silhouettes. The set comes as thirty-two individual pieces plus one flat board. Each army fields the same six Ho Chi Minh City building silhouettes, one shape standing in for the king, queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn, repeated at the counts standard chess calls for. Every piece has a flat base and stands freely in its grid square, no pins, magnets or glue needed to set up a game.
