For those that know me Chess is the first game I ever really felt at home playing. The one on one battle filled with strategy and misdirection is still to this day the best game in the business. So to say when I saw this little beauty it was love at first sight would be an understatement.
The use of Neil Gaiman's Sandman motif gives the pieces a style all of their own, making this a unique set to own. The Sandman is one of Vertigo's best titles and if you have not dived into the series I really suggest you do. As for the set it comes in at $249.99 and that is a rather hefty wedge of cash but for a set like this it's a fair price (I have a marble set that was roughly the same cost). One thing is for sure after playing long into the night you find your sleep disturbed by more than just missed opportunity to steal tour opponents Queen.
