I don't play chess often, but I have often wanted an ISLE OF LEWIS CHESS SET. You can find reproductions at rather reasonable prices. I purchased one figure years ago and a whopping 13 years ago, I posted it for you RIGHT HERE.
In any case, while downtown I stumbled across this Slavic Mythological figures chess set. Huge. It was beyond my budget, i.e. around 350 euros....

Wow! My son loves chess. We got him a small Lego board Christmas (nostaligic), but then a larger real one that is a bit nicer. This looks amazing.
A game I'll never understand.
Lovely to have actual faces and hands, etc. on the pieces. I learned how the pieces moved when I was a kid, but never played much. As a teenager, I taught an 11 year old boy how they moved when I was volunteering in a "poverty" project, and after the first game, never came close to winning.
He had the mid for it. Too bad I didn't know anyone who could play him.
