Questions, answered.

Shipping, magnets, returns - the short versions. Full FAQ.

When does it ship?

Out within two business days. Tracked worldwide - and shipping is already in the price.

How strong are the magnets?

Flip the board upside down mid-game. Nothing moves.

How big is it?

It folds down to about the size of a small notebook and weighs just 150 grams. Easy to throw in your bag, easy to forget it is there - until you need it.

Exact size: 12.5 × 13 × 1.5 cm when closed.

Do I need to be good at chess?

No. It’s the ultimate ice breaker - a reason to sit down with someone. The rest takes care of itself.

What if it’s not for me?

Not for you? Send it back for a full refund. Free returns, no questions. See returns.
