Minimalist Pathfinding Chess & Checkers Set

Elevate your tabletop gaming with this modern, minimalist take on the classic game of Chess. This set replaces traditional figurines with tactile, dual-sided discs that feature movement-path iconography.

Each icon is intuitively designed to visually describe how that specific piece moves across the board, making it perfect for teaching new players or for those who appreciate a clean, Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic.

Design Features

  • Intuitive Iconography: No more memorizing L-shapes or diagonal constraints. The patterns on each piece (Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, and Pawn) act as a "cheat sheet" for their legal moves.
  • Dual-Sided Utility: The top face features the chess icon, while the flat bottom allows the pieces to double as Checkers (Draughts).
  • Ergonomic Dimensions: Each piece is 35mm in diameter and 6mm tall, providing a satisfying "clink" and easy handling during play.
  • Stackable: Designed with a low profile so you can easily stack them when a Pawn is promoted or a King is crowned in Checkers.

Technical Specifications

  • Diameter: 35mm
  • Height: 6mm
  • Print Style: Optimized for multi-color printing AMS or simple filament swaps at the top layers.

Recommended Print Settings

  • Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm (0.12mm for extra crisp icons).
  • Infill: 15-20% Gyroid (provides a nice weight).
