Chess is one popular game that has almost 500 years of history on its side. It's mostly about war and strategy, and smart minds are playing it everywhere, online to. Because there are so many chess players the market is also offers some interesting options for you such as unique chess sets that you may like to buy if you're here. Here are the most common unique chess sets that you can buy online.

You may like a medieval chess set. Buy it online with a price no more than 40$ (on Amazon and other marketplaces). Manufactured from wood and very detailed, as the actual pieces to. For a bigger amount of money (something like $250) you buy a bigger and more detailed chess set with 4 inches tall pieces. In this case, the pieces will look like a real miniature king/queen and so on. It's kinda of fun. One of the most common medieval chess sets are so called Isle of Lewis. You can buy online a model of the first 12 century chess pieces. Kinda of must have for every collectioner. The pieces are handmade and hand-colored, and because of this the prices could go up and up. If you're not able to find them, research on ebay and see if someone is selling them.

As I've said, they're more than medieval chess sets. Chess is a "war" game and there are always dragons and even knights involved in some sort of fights. Remember the movies where the main character had to ay the dragon? You can buy a dragon chess set in order to feel like in those movies. Manufactured from wood like the first one. Although it may be up to $100 (or even more) it's worth every dollar. The pieces and the set is more detailed than a medieval chess set. The colors and the work is an art. Everything goes inside a box that on top with a wonderful dragon. The entire box can be a small castle with dragons, altough there are cheaper ones (around 50$) with no dragon/castle box. Your choice.

My preferred piece of unique chess set is a civil war chess set. As the prices it can be around $60 if you buy it online. The beauty of it is that in this game the pieces are actually real figures around 3 inches tall so that you can actually feel in a civil war while you're playing your strategy. One other unique thing about these chess pieces is that they're actually hand painted and very detalied. One other thing if you like you can just buy some chess pieces from the civil war (find them around amazon with no chess board), and then you can choose what chess board you like. Combine them and you're going to make the perfect gift for someone for Christmas. This kind of chess pieces is made in general of pewter which is malleable metal alloy so that the shape and look is going to challenge your imagination.
