Drueke Chess & Games

Drueke chess sets and games, especially the wood chess boards have been USA's finest for nearly a century. Today, due to rising costs, most of the hardwood products are being phased out and what remains is a small selection of chess products.

Thankfully, the dearly loved Drueke 87710 travel chess set will likely remain available. It's a mainstay for chess players who need a handy size chess set that can store a chess game with many interruptions - while traveling - due to it's strong magnets.

On first opening the chess set, you may find yourself filing down rough parts on the base of a couple pieces or gluing/tightening the magnets of a couple pieces, but not to worry considering the long term value. Over time the metal surface is prone to scratching, but with a "tough" set who doesn't like a weathered look - chess is a battleground eh?
