The Travel Chessboard is an ultralight, packable chess set built for life on the move.

Originally designed for long days in the Boundary Waters, this travel chessboard is made to go with you – from trailhead to campsite, from road trips to red-eye flights, from quiet cafés to competitive chess clubs. The chess set disappears into your pack, sets up in seconds, and stays put when it matters.

The low-profile design of both the chessboard and the chess pieces keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing durability. Materials resist wear, moisture, movement, and repeated use in real-world conditions. Chess pieces attache securely to the chessboard so you can play on uneven ground, pack it up mid-game, or carry it without losing your position.

Unlike many travel sets, The Travel Chessboard is designed for clarity and playability. High-contrast squares and thoughtful piece design make it easy to read at a glance—whether you’re playing in bright sun or low light.

Featuring nature-forward imagery inspired by time on the trail, every set feel personal. It’s a functional object, but also something you’ll want to keep using.

The Travel Chessboard is patent pending.

This board features a partly cloudy sky above Saganaga Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

What’s included:

1 folding chessboard, set up and ready to play
1 full set of pieces + 4 extras (two queens, two blank)
1 “Your Move” marker
1 “How to Play” guide

Tips:

When you open your chessboard, fold it slightly in the opposite direction to lay completely flat.
When you close your chessboard, we recommend pinching each corner closed first, then closing each slide like a zip lock bag.
Store captured pieces on the fastener strip on your side of the board. The board can be closed up mid-game to finish later.

We are a new local business, and are open to custom requests given a minimum order amount. Additionally, we hope to place our product in retail stores.
