Meet John!
John is a lover for caves and chess. He has always wanted a cave themed chess board that provides excitement with ever move and is different from other sets!
Luckily, John has a Crystalized Chess Set that makes him feel like he's in the caves again. Each piece has underglow that illuminates the crystal feel. The board presents a cave feeling by providing gaps around the edges!
