Even terrible chess players like me can appreciate the beauty and design of the LED Chess/Checker Set. This plug-in [chess and checkers board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-board-game) brings some much needed color to the age-old strategy games.

Though I'm not necessarily a fan of either analogue exercise, this beautiful board does put an appealing twist on the geeky games. The LED Chess/Checker set can be plugged into either the wall or car letting you take the "fun" of [chess and checkers on the road](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-chess-set).
