he German drugstore Rossmann currently hast travelling games for 7.99, and I couldn't resist and bought chess and backgammon.
The boards don't stay quite flat yet, but somehow the games make a good mood

As a man I feel violated by those colours.

And I actually bought them because the summery colors are such a nice diversion from the standard colors and shapes <3
A no magnetic set with a cloth mat and wooden pieces. On a tournament sized board for comparision.
Red and white chess pieces look like eye candy
Red and white plastic pieces were always my favorite too. Just something magical about them.
Are these pegged sets meant for blind people. What is the purpose of pegging a set rather than making it magnetic in nature
Pegged sets pre-date small, strong rare earth magnets.
My Son got a beauty today. One of the rarest Drueke travel sets I ever did see. In mint condition. They made this set like a fine piece of furniture. I can't get over it. Not easy to find.
2 1/8" magnetic pieces on a 10" board (didn't buy them together)
They did yes, but only just strong enough to fight a mild summer breeze 🙄
No idea of the provenance, I actually picked them up together with these 2 in plastic, which seem to be german in origin.
Edit: second one is very similar to Swiss HUK pieces apparently.
TundraMike, this set is a beauty! Nice design!
Super looking set there and I assume a trophy? You're a wonderful player from what I see,so that's my assumption.
Bought an inexpensive travel set from Amazon to take with me on a trip to England.
Didn't go for the smallest or cheapest version though. 12" board, 2.6" kings, decent magnets and overall quality. Checkers chips included, no extra queens.
