Chess!
The game of the old nobility. First found in what is now called China, the ancient
war game has been a top favorite for centuries. This is a classic example of a very
simple game which has very few true masters. A few hours to learn how to play, a
lifetime to master.

KING, or in the case of a ship, THE CAPTAIN.

delightful look and unerring skill. Far and away the most powerful piece
to play.
Tall Ship, Bishop of the sea
When
at sea, we need the right answer, and that is a great tall ship. Just a
fun piece to work from and a pleasure to play with
The Seahorse, Knight of the sea
When
at sea, who but a seahorse to provide the knights services? One of the
best looking pieces like this we have produced
Lighthouse, Castle of the Sea
The
light station, or Lighthouse, the true Castle of the sea. Many a sailor
owes his life to the information provided by a light, and it is the perfect
castle for the classic game.
Dolphin, pawn of the sea
Any who have gone to sea can understand why the Dolphin is the perfect pawn
selection. Fun loving and they love to spend time with man and his ships.
They provide the perfect pawn of the sea.
