CLASSIC GAMES: CHESS SETS, MAHJONG & GO GAMES

Nobody in the area carries a larger or finer selection of chess sets. We generally stock dozens of styles of chess sets and supplies. Our sets are made by some of the finest names in chess - Chiellini, Nigri, Ital Fama, Madon, Kutahya, and others. Most of our sets are hand-made in Italy, Spain, Poland & locally. We offer examples in wood, marble, alabaster, metal, resin, glass, porcelain and ceramic. Additionally, we can order from well over one hundred styles to suit every taste. In addition to the chess sets themselves, we carry tournament boards and pieces, travel bags, clocks, and other supplies.

Other games include mosaic inlaid wood backgammon sets, Go game sets, and deluxe Mahjong sets.
