If you’re riding in a Rolls-Royce, odds are someone else is doing the driving while you sit in the back wondering how to pass the time between sips of champagne and existential musings. You could play chess—on a tray table, sure—but why settle when Rolls-Royce now makes an actual Chess Set worthy of your refined rear-seat boredom? Technically, it’s meant for home use, but let’s be honest: it’d look just as good in a jet lounge or gliding down a ridiculously smooth highway.
As you’d expect, this isn’t your average board game. The set opens with the kind of slow, dramatic motion usually reserved for unveiling priceless artifacts—or the trunk of a Phantom. Inside are magnetised, ceramic-coated aluminium pieces with jewel-like stainless steel heads, because, of course, they are. Hidden drawers on both sides house extra queens, just in case things get heated.
The board, wrapped in leather and framed in polished aluminium, comes in four veneer combos, and buyers can pick from 13 leather colors to match their car or their mood. At around 56 cm (22 inches) wide, it’s not exactly travel-sized—but if you own this, you’re probably flying private anyway.
No price was listed, but let’s be real—if you’re commissioning one, you stopped looking at price tags a while ago.
