Breaking Bad fans will love this drug dealer inspired chess set (available on Etsy). This epic game allows fans of the show to battle each other using characters from the unforgettable series Breaking Bad. This pop culture chess set would make a great Christmas gift for friends or family who loved this recently wrapped up show.

In place of kings, queens, knights and castles, this set allows people to play with characters like Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and all of the show's most memorable drug dealing villains. The board that comes with this meth-inspired chess set is black and yellow, and is labelled like the periodic table (something that fans will appreciate).

Known Unknown Design is behind this awesome Breaking Bad chess set.
