WANT: Star Trek 50th Anniversary Tridimensional Chess Set

chess

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, here is an officially-licensed tridimensional chess set, just like the one we’ve often seen in many episodes of Star Trek: TNG.

The Franklin Mint has reprised their 90s creation with this 50th Anniversary Tridimensional Chess Set. This set, over a foot tall when fully assembled, features 7 acrylic playing boards and 32 silver or gold plated chess pieces. It comes with a rules booklet, but even if you don’t play, it looks pretty awesome displayed on a shelf, just waiting for someone to comment on it. Of course, if you don’t play, owning this chess set is a reason to learn if we ever heard one. We can find no other logical alternative.
