Credit Card Chess Set
Chess has always been a game of supreme intellectual acuity, and now Credit Card Chess turns it into a game of supreme physical acuity as well. Brush up on your checks, along with your manual dexterity and visio-spatial awareness, with this 3D-printed, pocket-sized, pop-out version of the great game of chess.
Seemingly designed for watchmakers and surgeons, the teeny tiny chess board, and even teenier tinier chess pieces arrive secured in a frame about the size of a credit card. Creator Innovo suggests keeping it "in your wallet for that unexpected chess emergency!" Or, you know, for a conversation piece at game night, or ice breaker when you see a super hot competitor at a chess tournament.
Innovo 3D prints the Credit Card Chess set in nylon plastic, and your choice of a dozen or so colors. He says you can cut the pieces and board out of the card to play if you want...to add yet another level of frustration to your chess games.
