Classic Wooden Games

Classic Wooden GamesWe have many different kinds of handcrafted classic wooden game sets, including Chess, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, and Go, as well as other less well known traditional and reconstructed wooden games such as Latrunculi, Fox and Geese and Nine Man Morris. We're constantly expanding our selection of traditional cultural wooden games which now includes Surakarta, Fanorona and Four Field Kono, among others. All wood boards are individually handcrafted, signed and dated, and all wood playing pieces (even the dice cups!) are handcrafted.

ALL GAMES COME WITH COMPLETE RULES!

We designed the 3-Player Chess game as the result of a casual inquiry from a fellow crafter, and have also designed a board for a unique game not yet on the national market, so if you have something special in mind, or just a suggestion for a game we might research, please let us know!

''I just wanted to say thank you for making the things you do. I purchased a Pente Board from you for my mom's birthday; she had been looking for one and was not able to find one except for the cheesy cardboard ones. I found this and I knew right away it was for her. She received it and absolutely loved it. She said the work was done beautifully, and she loved how she could smell the wood. Once again, thank you, you made her birthday quite special. Your service and speediness is exceptional; know that I would recommend you to anyone.'' --Sincerely, JH - Texas

''I got the chess set today, and it looks awesome! Thank you!'' --Lauren, New Jersey

''The [latrunculi] boards came in at noon today, and they're perfect and very handsome. The routing-out of the grid is a great touch, like mosaic. I showed one to a friend of mine--it dropped her jaw. I'm delighted!'' ---Gratefully, CR Lee

''Got them [Latrunculi and Four Field Kono games] yesterday. They are fantastic. Thanks!'' --Ken
