Description

Chess with a castle cast

Instead of plain chess pieces, minifigures from the Fantasy Era range face each other across the board. With 33 minifigures the cast is unusually large for a set of this size. The idea takes a familiar game and gives each side its own character, so a match feels like a small battle. Best of all, you can genuinely play with it, so it never ends up as a display piece only. Children pick up the rules naturally this way.

Dark against light

The main colours are black, dark bluish grey, white and light bluish grey, which suits a board where the two camps must be easy to tell apart. The 2,455 pieces come in 156 different shapes, so many elements repeat, for example the board squares and the bases. That keeps the build steady, because you make similar sub-assemblies several times and soon find a rhythm without needing to check the instructions at every step. The strong contrast also makes sorting easier.

Who it suits

Castle fans looking for something playable will like it, and so will chess players who enjoy building. It also works as a family project: the build can be shared out, and afterwards everyone already knows the rules of the game. The finished board needs a fixed place on a table or shelf, and the many small figures should be stored somewhere safe between games so none of them get lost. A shallow box beside the board works well.

Parts list and your collection

The parts list on this page shows every element with colour and quantity, which helps when you need to replace a missing figure or board piece. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other castle models your current bricks could make. The large number of minifigures and accessories is also handy for your own medieval scenes, even if you never set up the chess game. One box gives you a whole garrison.
