The two games every family should own. In one handsome box.
Chess and draughts — the games that put the screens down and bring people to the table. From the company that's been making them since 1795, in a set good enough to give and good enough to keep.
Chess and draughts together
every age covered
Heritage pedigree: makers of the original Staunton chess set
One handsome box
gift-ready, no wrapping required
Two of the oldest games in the world, made by the oldest games maker in Britain
Chess teaches patience and draughts teaches everyone to play in five minutes — together they cover every age at the table. We've been making both since 1795, and this bundle pairs them in one well-made set that arrives beautifully boxed: as right for a thoughtful gift as it is for your own family's Sunday afternoons.

Good to know
What's included in the bundle?
Both classic games — chess and draughts — in one set, so you've got two of the most loved games in the world ready to play out of one box.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Very much so — it arrives beautifully presented and the heritage makes it a gift that feels considered rather than throwaway.
What ages does it suit?
Draughts is learnable in minutes by young children; chess grows with them and challenges adults. Between them they cover the whole family.
Why buy the bundle over two separate sets?
You get both games in one well-made, gift-ready box from the original Staunton makers — better value and far better presentation than two cheap separate sets.
