What sets WE Games boards and pieces apart
Veneer boards matched to piece size
The wooden boards pair walnut with sycamore or maple, and square size follows the king. The 21.75-inch luxury board has 2.125-inch squares for a 3.75-inch king, while the 14.75-inch French Staunton board drops to 1.5-inch squares under a 3-inch king. That ratio keeps the base of each piece inside its square with room around it.
Weighted chess pieces with felt bottoms
Most wooden sets use weighted pieces with felt on the base, so they sit low and slide quietly across a veneer board. The Grand Jacques chessmen weigh 2.4 lbs together and the French Staunton pieces 1.6 lbs. The tournament sets go further with triple weighted plastic pieces.
Solid oak and walnut cribbage boards
The cribbage boards are cut from solid oak or solid walnut rather than printed fiberboard, and the pegs are metal. Storage is built in: a sliding metal door underneath, a hinged cabinet, or a felt-lined fold that closes with a magnet.
Storage designed into the board
Many pieces in the range carry their own storage. The Go set has pull-out drawers for 361 stones, the Royal Game of Ur board has a drawer for its 22 pieces, and the chess and checkers board measures 15 x 15 x 2.5 inches with felt padded drawers on both sides. Nothing needs a separate box to stay complete.
Wood types in the range and how to care for a wooden game board
The chess pieces are turned from sheesham, kari, acacia, rosewood and boxwood, with the light and dark sides in contrasting woods. Boards are walnut, maple or sycamore veneer, while the cribbage boards, mancala boards and Chinese checkers are solid wood, mostly oak. The tournament chess sets use plastic pieces and vinyl or 100% silicone boards that wipe clean.
For a solid wood board or a veneer chess board, dust with a dry soft cloth and keep it away from standing water, radiators and direct sun, which can dry or fade the finish. A slightly damp cloth is the limit; dry it straight after. Felt bottoms collect grit, so brush them off before setting pieces on a polished board. If your set lives in a sunny room, close the box or turn the board between games so both halves age evenly.
Wood vs plastic chess set comes down to use. Wood suits a set that stays home and is handled gently; the silicone and vinyl boards can be rolled, folded and wiped down after a day at the park, and plastic weighted pieces shrug off a drop on pavement.

Compare the setsWhich WE Games set fits your situation
Club nights and weekend tournaments
A tournament chess set needs a 3.75-inch king, 2.25-inch squares and pieces that survive a bag. The red vinyl set features algebraic notation on the board and a zip bag with room for a clock, which matters if you record games. Pair it with the hardcover scorebook to keep the moves.
Flights, road trips and camping
Magnetic boards keep a game in place when the surface moves. The 8-inch folding set closes to 7.75 x 3.875 x 1.31 inches with all 32 pieces inside, small enough for a seat pocket. For a wooden feel at travel size, the 7-inch magnetic board gives each piece its own velvety slot.
Two-player cribbage at the cabin
This cribbage set opens to 15.125 inches and folds to 7.75 inches, with felt-lined storage for cards and pegs and a magnetic closure. Instructions are included, so a first game at the lake house can start without a rulebook.
Game nights with mixed groups
When the guest list varies, a single box with several games saves shelf space. Chinese checkers handles 2-6 players on an 11.5-inch oak board, while the 7-in-1 combo covers chess, backgammon, cribbage and dominoes for smaller groups.
About the WE Games range
The WE Games catalogue covers traditional games rather than modern board games: chess, cribbage, mancala, Go, Chinese checkers, dominoes, Shoot the Moon, Senet and the Royal Game of Ur. The chess side is the largest, split between wooden sets for the home and tournament or travel sets built to be carried.
Across the wooden chess sets, the pieces follow Staunton, French Staunton, English Staunton or Jacques patterns, and board sizes step from 11.5 inches to 21.75 inches. A pieces-only Bobby Fischer Acacia and Boxwood Staunton Chess Pieces set and a 14.75-inch board-only option let you build a set from separate parts.
The cribbage boards span pocket, folding, cabinet, competition and 29 board formats, with tracks for two or three players and replacement metal pegs in packs of 6 and 9. The remaining traditional games are mostly solid wood with built-in storage, many sized for a coffee table.
The collection suits adults who play regularly and families who want games for adults and kids on one shelf. Measure your table and check the king height before you order a chess set: the gap between a 2.5-inch king and a 4-inch king is large on a small board.
