A full chess set for serious play. For players and collectors who want a chess set that plays by the book but looks like nothing else on the shelf. Every game uses standard rules: eight pawns, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, a queen and a king per side, moving across a normal 8x8 board reimagined as a nighttime city grid.

Two armies, one grid. A complete chess set built for standard play: sixty four squares in a charcoal grid, alternating with warm brass light squares, sixteen pieces per side. Every rule is the one you already know, only the color story changes: pale stone faces pieces cast in dark graphite steel.

One board, six roles, two finishes. Sixteen pieces per side, each rank a distinct architectural idea: pawns as slender rooftop water towers, rooks as heavy corner towers with parapets, knights as forward-leaning bridge cantilevers, bishops split by a diagonal cut, queens crowned with an Art Deco fan, kings peaking Gothic-tall. All sit on a matching round base.
