Give a chess player a game that travels with them. The VentureBoard Mini Chess Noir combines a compact magnetic board with a roll-up design that lets you pause a game and carry the pieces in position. The black-and-white Noir edition suits a desk, weekend bag or travel kit.

What is included?

• Mini Chess magnetic roll-up board in the Noir colorway.
• 32 chess pieces with neodymium magnets, plus two extra queens for pawn promotion.

Size and everyday use

The board measures 7.5 × 6 inches when open and approximately 6 × 3 inches when rolled. Play on a flat surface, roll the board to pause, and unroll it to continue the same game. This is a physical two-player chess set; it needs no battery, app or screen.
