Noble Celts™ Chess by Dream Green takes the game back to its pre-Dark Ages origins, when the familiar checkered board was round rather than square. This ancient form of chess has gained popularity in recent years, and though the rules are the same as the modern version, the lack of side edges on the Noble Celts board brings new life to a timeless game. The 26” x 26" faux leather board is decorated with Celtic/pagan designs, with chess pieces of cast resin. Facts and history on the development of chess are included.
