Super Mario as a chess set .... WHAT FUN!
There’s some fun chess sets out there, but this Super Mario Chess set may not only be the most colorful, but also the geekiest.
With 32 hand painted chess pieces that include such Super Mario stars as Luigi, Yoshi and the toad, Princess Peach and Coin mushrooms for pawns. Mario is the King, Luigi the Queen, Princess Peach and Daisy as bishops, Yoshi is the Knight and the Toad plays the rook.
Ages 7 and above and it’s a down right fun way to introduce the great mental game of chess to your kids. Available in the fall from USAopoly for a retail price of about $45.
If Super Mario isn’t to your liking, USAopoly also makes cool chess sets based on Major League Baseball rivalries, like the Boston Red Sox vs. the New York Yankees, and even a Peanuts chess set where Lucy finally gets to live her fantasy of being a queen.
