8-BIT ARCADE CHESS SET INVADES KICKSTARTER
NMI Laser has taken to Kickstarter to fund this marriage of 8-bit arcade classic Space Invaders with equally classic board game Chess in what is the greatest chess set I have ever seen and desperately desire.
The chess set features the arcade game’s character in fluorescent colors laser cut and they sit atop a laser cut and etched acrylic game board. It’s absolutely gorgeous and if you pledge $65 you can get the full set of pieces complete with the board which is a steal.
The Kickstarter is looking to complete the funding goal of $5,000 (they already have $1,089 at the time of this post) in the next 27 days. I think that plenty of time to rouse the tabletop gamers and arcade old schoolers to back this beautiful collaboration.
How beautiful does Lily Cole look here?

You know, Luigi, the queen is the most powerful piece on the board.

That’s an awfully busy chess piece.
