Description

Chess with a castle cast

Instead of classic wooden pieces, minifigures from the castle world face each other here. That gives the game its own character: you do not merely play chess, you let two armies meet. With 24 figures a large number of minifigures is on hand, and thanks to their equipment they are easy to tell apart on the board. For collectors of Castle figures the set is interesting for that reason too, as it delivers so many characters at once.

Black, grey and dark red

The colours follow the board game: black and light bluish grey form the squares, while dark red and pearl light grey add accents on the figures and the structure. This creates strong contrast that clearly separates the two sides. At 286 pieces the set is compact, and because many parts are figures or their equipment, the actual construction stays modest. Build time is therefore short, and the result can go straight onto the table for a game.

Only 30 types

With only 30 different part types the range is small, which makes sense for a board game where many squares and pieces are built the same way or similarly. For reuse, the set offers a good quantity of figure parts, such as heads, helmets, weapons and bodies, which can be used in castle scenes of your own. If you plan a medieval diorama, it gives you a small army without having to buy several separate sets.

Play or display

The Castle Chess Set is made for playing, yet it also looks good built and standing on a shelf. The complete parts list is further down this page. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which other models your bricks allow and whether the many figure parts would still be useful in other medieval sets. That way the set stays useful long after the game has finished.
