The pieces each have a base that can move around the bored as regular chess pieces, but they are outfitted with 3D figures that represent each chess piece. The awesome Monster Chess LEGO set is all controlled by a touch PC, which sends the robots into each position on the board. How fun would it be to play this crazy [chess board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-chess)? I would have difficulty restraining myself from not running onto the board and hopping on as the pieces move! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electronic Controlled Chess Sets:** Developing electronically controlled chess sets using innovative technologies such as LEGO MINDSTORM robots. - **Interactive Gaming Experiences:** Creating immersive gaming experiences by integrating touch PC controls with physical game pieces. - **3d-printed Chess Figures:** Designing customizable and visually appealing 3D-printed chess figures for unique gameplay experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** Innovating within the toy manufacturing industry by combining robotics and traditional board games to create interactive chess sets. - **Gaming Technology:** Pioneering advancements in gaming technology by merging touch PC controls and physical gameplay to enhance the chess playing experience. - **3D Printing:** Exploring new opportunities in 3D printing by designing and producing customized and intricate chess figures for enthusiasts and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magical Robotic Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gochess-wizard.md) - [AI-Powered Chess Set Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manya-cynus.md) - [Medieval Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lion-knights-castle.md) - [Electromagnetic Conduction Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masteek-lightup-chess-set.md) - [Monster-Honoring Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-lego.md) - [AI-Powered Chessboard Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gochess.md) - [Building Block Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-settlers-of-catan.md) - [Fantasy Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quidditch-trunk.md) - [Arcade Game Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacman-arcade.md)
