Why It Won

Weighted pieces

Full-weight Staunton pieces with felt bases. No rattling. Every move feels deliberate.

Folds in seconds

Closes into its own storage box in under 10 seconds. No loose pieces, no lost pawns.

Three games, one box

Chess, Draughts AND Backgammon. All included. Not sold separately.

Plays for decades

Solid construction. Families in our test were still using it 6 weeks later.

We have been making chess sets since 1849, the year we created the Staunton piece, the design every chess set in the world is still based on today. This folding set is what we make when we want three classic games in one box that lasts a lifetime. Weighted pieces. Solid board. Folds in seconds. The kind of set families get out on Sunday evenings and never quite put away.
