 Viking
Isle of Lewis Chess Set
$299.95US Cast directly from the 900-year-old
pieces in the British Museum. Includes the world
famous Lewis Chessman, decorative cloth board and
designer box. The pieces are 3.5” tall and the
pawns are 1.5” in height. When displayed in your
home they will add a stately feel. Made in Europe
from a crushed-stone and polyester-resin compound,
our chess pieces look and feel like the ancient
set. You may have seen a version of this chess set
in the blockbuster film about an English boy and
his magical powers (Harry Potter). We can't
guarantee that these will have a life of their own
as they did for Harry and Ron, but you never know.
Reproductions of the 12th-century originals found
by a farmer in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis, in the
Hebrides, northwest of Scotland. Experts regard
the originals, skillfully carved between the years
1100 and 1130 AD, as "the most exquisite
collection of ancient chessmen in existence."

 The Viking
Adventure Game "Hnefatafl"
$54.95US It is
pronounced "Nef - ah - tah - fel" in old
Norse, which means the king's table. Board 11.5" x 11.5", King
1.75", Pawns 1.25".
The Viking game "Hnefatafl" was a
popular board game during the Dark Ages in Northern Europe and was played
all over the Viking world. Based on archaeological research
the game has been reconstructed and can now be played as it was by the
Vikings over 1,600 years ago.
Hnefatafl was last recorded as being played in Wales in 1587 and in
Lapland in 1723. The rules are simple, yet require tactical skill to take the
enemy by surprise and win the game. The legacy of the Viking use of
tactical surprise is told of again and again in the Viking sagas. Chess
enthusiasts will appreciate a new, or should I say old way of thinking.

 Noble
Celts Circular Chess Set $59.95US Dream Green is proud to bring you Noble Celts
Chess by award-winning game inventor and artist, Don Green. Noble Celts
is a richly decorated Celton-Saxon styled circular chess game. Chess was
played on a circular designed board centuries ago but this version
mostly disappeared during the Dark Ages. This could be as a result of
the many occasions that chess has been forbidden . Only in recent years
has this form of chess been rediscovered and this design combines
beautiful artistry with dynamic play. Although the chess pieces still
move as in European Chess and those chess rules apply, the lack of side
edges on the Noble Board makes this variant a vibrant way of playing an
ancient game. The board is faux leather measuring approximately 26
x 26 inches. The abstract animal and interlocking braided cord designs
of Northern Britain and Ireland harmonize beautifully and are
complemented with exquisite chess pieces from an original set hand
carved by Don Green. Some references to the development and history of
chess and the pieces are included. Many more can be found on this site
and the internet. The chess pieces are cast resin.
