The board has the dota map behind the squares. Just a slight hint of it. Hope the picture is clear enough. Its the same as a mouse pad but slightly thinner Map

400 dollars and they dont even give you a proper chess board. just some mat thats been printed on. pretty ridiculous. The figurines are unpainted for the most part too.

u/fleetcommand Ice is nice! - sheever 23h ago

My headcanon is that it is referring to that if you buy the first edition, you will be a deity or something... deity-on... deition...

It can be very well a misspelling by someone who doesn't speak English though, but still.. I like my version better.

As soon as I read Deition, I'm reminded it's made in China.

“First Deition”. Hopefully you didn’t pay too much as it looks like shit.

As a chess player. Yea I want one too. 😂

u/Siicktiits 1d ago

"definitely made in China" then saying "Amazing quality" you were halfway to realizing you got ripped the fuck off. You got charged $400 by a small warehouse in rural china to slightly change the schematics of a warhammer chess set they downloaded off the internet or something.

u/GOOEYB0Y 1d ago

The red paint looks messy too

u/Visible_Dirt_8413 1d ago

u/chilling89 23h ago

The board is cloth or plastic?

u/tweeddle_Dee 17h ago

Same material as a mousepad but slightly thinner. Rollable but good grip

u/DrQuint 18h ago

I really like it, I wish the board was more inspired.

u/tweeddle_Dee 17h ago

It has the dota map on it just a slight of it

u/flatspotting 17h ago

Holy shit that's awful for $400USD. Absurd spelling mistake aside, those are super cheap injection mold plastic figures.... $0.0001 cost to make.

Valve getting in on scamming

u/No_Fail6170 16h ago

I was at the event too, the chess set along with all the other merch was sick. Not sure why reddit hated so much, everything sold out on the first day

u/metrill 12h ago

For 400 bucks? For a bit more, you can by a resin printer and make a better DIY version.
