Paper Chess celebrates all of these elements, while adding a brilliant move of its own. It contains everything chess fans need to create their own collectible paper chess sets—64 pages of punch-out illustrated templates, and a back cover that converts into a chessboard. Elegantly designed to appeal to the most discerning chess player, Paper Chess is also the perfect way to introduce the next generation to a magnificent game.
