The Noble Collection The Lord of The Rings Chess Set: Battle for Middle-Earth

This is an excellent buy. The quality is outstanding, pieces are a great replica of the Chess pieces. Good quality and the color is absolute. Recommend purchasing this item. Bought for my grandson,, he loves it. Susan Martin Irmo, SC.

I just received it today at my door and felt like a kid again opening the box and put ting the pieces on the board! As a fan of Lord of the Rings and chess I think this is a chess set that is very well done and definitely worth the money I paid.It's a beautiful set and the pieces are not small at all. Being able to play chess with it and recognize the various pieces is easy. And having pieces like this will add to your enjoyment of the game of chess as you begin and get into the game itself.Seeing who's threatening and where it's coming from using these figures develops chess into a meaningful fantasy battlefield! Visualizing not an abstract chess piece, but instead characters in Lord of the Rings really increases the excitement of the game.Regarding the Kings and Queens: I like how the designer put Gandalf in the white kind spot with Galadriel at his side. Placing Aragorn there with Arwen would have been an alternate way to design it.Regarding the Dark Side, I get placing Sauron and Saruman in those roles. But if you see the 2 wizards battling head to head (as I do), then place Saruman as the black king, and put Sauron in the black queen spot - matching him with the most powerful position on the dark side.Either way you set it up, it's a beautiful set with nicely sized pieces and worth the money.

i'll keep it brief: the product is great. Good quality and worth the money. One of our pieces had an issue. I emailed customer service at the company on Christmas day, since I gave the chess set to my children as a Christmas gift and didn't want to forget to deal with it the next day, so I just emailed them on Christmas day. They were right on it the next day and had the piece shipped the next day. Unbelievable customer service after purchase, you don't get a lot of companies nowadays with the superior customer service that Noble Collection does.

My son loves LOTR and chess so this was the perfect gift for him. The quality of it is great.

Husband and kids had a great time playing this. The pieces were very detailed. They came in separate silky bags for protection. I suggest being very careful when you are playing and packing the pieces away. Pieces can break if not handled correctly.

I highly recommend this LOTR themed chess set! It is high quality for the price and it’s fun to play with.

Well crafted chess pieces! My son absolutely loved it!
