Where to buy a cheap chess set

Peregrine · 2016-05-31 14:54:00

And I mean cheap! I have a nice one but I haven't got it with me in Dublin. I need one this evening though. Any ideas? :D

A bit of paper and some different shaped rocks.

Failing that a charity shop.

Cheap chess got postponed :P

I think I'll buy the one from Tiger if I can't get one in EuroGiant. They sell crap plastic ones for €3!
