Nothing is oversized or fussy, and the shapes read clearly from the far side of a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo timbers are offered on this listing.

The full roster comes in at around 1200g, with the mass carried low in the base, so a piece settles rather than rocks when it lands on a square. In a blitz finish that matters. An unweighted king topples when a hand brushes past it, and a weighted one stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight is added by hand during manufacture, so the maker quotes a tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent on the finished roster.
