Best Lego Chess Sets – my 4 Picks

The popularity of both Lego and chess increased during the pandemic, as people were spending more and more time trapped at their homes. Many people were looking for ways to have a good time at home and for something to play with. Even adults became interested in building Legos. The proof of this is that Lego sells many models that are designed for adults as well. Moreover, the Netflix series Queen’s Gambit (YouTube trailer here) has almost doubled the worldwide interest in chess generally. Taking all these facts into account, in this article, I have decided to briefly review the top Lego chess sets for sale that you can buy. Also, before I get started, you might like to consider checking out my other website where I blog about chess sets. I have some guides on it on how to play chess or how to choose the right chess board for you too.

The first Lego chess set on my list is a classical Lego chess board. It includes buildable playing pieces and a buildable chessboard. The pieces can also be stored inside the board, so you can take it with you when traveling. It can be used to play checkers as well. The dimensions of the board are 10 inches (26 cm) square and the whole set contains 1,400 bricks. In case you like Legos and are an avid chess player, this is an ideal Lego set for you.
