Chess: A Pop-Up Set
Author(s): Sam Ita
From Sam Ita--the virtuoso paper engineer behind our successful "Moby-Dick," "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and "Frankenstein" pop-up books--comes a playful and beautiful new creation: a complete, standard-size chess set. Made of durable cardstock, the already-assembled and magnetized pieces "pop" easily into place when the folds are opened. This totally innovative kit comes with a 48-page instructional book that explains the basic rules of the game and offers tips for more advanced players. Includes:
- A fold-out cardstock chess set with a 19 x 19 standard-sized board and 32 pieces
- Chess, a 48-page hardcover instructional book
