# Minimalist Board Games The Cardboard Chess by Londji is Made Entirely from Cardboard By Matt Ho | Published 2011-01-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-chess References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/cardboard-chess-by-londji.html) & [londji](http://londji.com) Who needs a [fancy board game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game) when you can just get something simple like Londji's cardboard chess? Those who can't afford the [fancier versions of this strategy game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-chess-set) can now turn to Londji. Their chess set is made entirely from recycled cardboard that's more simple, cleaner and eco-conscious to boot. What I love about the cardboard chess set is that it's easily-transported because the purpose of the design is to minimize volume as it's carried. The cardboard chess set is available for purchase on Londji's site. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Board Games:** The use of recycled materials in board games offers an opportunity for eco-conscious innovation. - **Portable Gaming:** Creating easily-transported board games opens up opportunities for gaming on the go. - **Minimalist Design:** The trend towards minimalism in board game design allows for streamlined and cleaner game experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Incorporating sustainable materials into board games presents opportunities for toy manufacturers to cater to eco-conscious consumers. - **E-commerce:** The availability of portable board games online provides e-commerce platforms with a niche market opportunity. - **Package Design:** The rise of minimalist board game design calls for innovative packaging solutions to minimize volume and maximize visual appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Monolithic Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chess-set.md) - [Flat-Pack Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jigsaw-chess-set.md) - [Minimalist Artful Chessboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarek-elkassouf.md) - [War-Inspired 3D-Printed Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindachess-s.md) - [Magnetic Portable Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventureboard.md) - [Chocolate Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compartes-chocolate-chess.md) - [Intelligent Portable Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eifplay.md) - [Eco-Friendly Beeswax Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeswax-chess-set.md) - [Rollable Chess Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollup-chess-board.md)
