Chessboards. . .

[episodic]

Anyone know where I can get some chessboards and pieces super cheap? It can be the real flimsy boards and plastic hollow pieces - cheap is the key word. . .


It is for a good cause 😛

And Job Lots/Big Lots.. they sometimes have nice sets really cheap. I remember seeing a Simpsons one and mirrored one for $10 a piece.
