Some boards are made to be played. This one is made to be stared at first. Nebula Mist swirls purple, pink, and teal across every square in a wash of colour that feels like looking into deep space, or the moment just before a dream takes hold. Then you notice the pieces, and the board gets even better.
 
Details
The board is poured in layers of violet, rose pink, and soft teal that bleed and spiral into one another, set against solid periwinkle squares that anchor the composition without competing with it. The effect is cosmic and ethereal in equal measure. A final flood coat of resin seals the entire surface to a flawless, glass-smooth finish that reflects light beautifully from every angle.
 
The two sets of pieces are as distinctive as the board they inhabit. One side is cast in deep cobalt blue-purple, rich and solid, with a polished surface that catches the light. The other is clear and crystalline, tinted in soft teal and ice, with one unmistakable exception: the queen. She is cast in vivid hot pink, commanding the board and refusing to be overlooked. 
Every piece is fitted with felt feet as standard, protecting the board surface and any table beneath.
 
The resin used throughout is non-toxic and non-yellowing, formulated to withstand temperatures of up to 90 degrees C. This board will hold its colour and its clarity for years to come.
