A skyline chess match for the table. Set the board on a kitchen table and the two skylines face off, cream pieces against slate blue-grey ones, each a distinct stepped, spired, or flat-topped shape standing on the board's street-grid squares. It sets up as a full match ready to play, good for two players settling in for a family game night.

Read the shape, make the move. Pick up a piece by its silhouette and set it down on a street-grid square: a tall flat-topped block is the king, a sphere-tipped spike is the queen, slim tapered points are the bishops, blocks with a side ledge are the knights, stepped blocks are the rooks, short tiered cones are the pawns, and landing on an opposing piece captures it, same as standard chess.

Two full armies, one board. Lift a piece off the board and it comes free on its own, no glue, no snap-fit: 33 separate pieces in the set, two 16-piece armies in cream and slate blue-grey plus the grid board, each army carrying its own king, queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks and eight pawns to stand on the squares.
