What Makes It Uncommon

Classic strategy meets cultural icon in this limited-edition wooden chess set celebrating The New Yorker's 100th anniversary. Designed by acclaimed illustrator Christoph Niemann, every piece pays witty homage to the city that never sleeps—from pigeon knights and yellow cab pawns to a Queen that’s none other than Lady Liberty herself. Housed in a bold, collectible box and packed with playful detail, it’s a statement piece for your coffee table or game shelf—and a brilliant gift for fans of New York, chess, or clever design.

  • Wooden board and pieces featuring original illustrations by New Yorker cover artist Christoph Niemann.
  • Chess pieces reimagined as NYC icons including The Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge, pigeons, and yellow cabs.
  • Presented in a collectible box designed to celebrate The New Yorker's 100th anniversary.
  • Made in China.
