Hyperbolic Chess Set
Chess for the 21st century.
Note that you will need to order two prints, each a different color, in order to have a complete set.
One set:
Icosahedron - Queen - 1 Dodecahedron - King - 1 Octahedron - Bishop - 2 Tetrahedron - Knight - 2 Cube - Castle - 2 Sphere - Pawn - 8
16 pieces total
Chessboard not included.
In case you are concerned about forgetting which pieces are which, the mapping is clear and intuitive:
Icosahedron=Queen (most number of sides, most versatile movement) Dodecahedron=King (of course, + second most number of sides) Octahedron=Bishop (moves diagonally, suggested by the diagonal form) Tetrahedron=Knight (moves in 4s (3+1)) Cube=Castle (moves vertically/horizontally, suggested by the horizontal/vertical form) Sphere=Pawn (not a hyperbolic polyhedron)
