Battle Break--ONS6 by darylo

Battle Break--ONS6

I have served as a missionary twice to Honduras on some building missions in the Tegucigalpa area. On one of our last days, our group was taken to the Valley of the Angels for a shopping, site-seeing tour. I used the time to gather a few items for my family. My husband loves games--especially chess, so I bought him this beautifully decorated box that folds out into a board. Many of the pieces (Mayans v. Conquistadors) don't exist now, but I keep them because it is quite colorful and beautifully crafted. But no color here--it's Day one of Jerry Plume's One Night Stand #6! Oh, come join the party! http://365project.org/discuss/general/20065/one-night-stand-six

My get-pushed partner also assigned me "board games" this week; so, a two-fer. I'm all-in on ONS6, so hope this one works for you Simmy!
What a cute chess set! I would love to own one like this - not that I play chess any more...

What a lovely chess set. No horses? Great shot.

@writingdays One Lama I think. Most of the pieces are broken or lost. The horse-like piece is not distinctive enough to actually use in the shot. It looks like a castle or rook more than a horse. :)

What a great looking bunch of characters. My guess is that they come alive at night!

A very unusual and intriguing chess set and a lovely capture of it.

Great chess set. I like the way this fades to softer faces in the back.

Great b and w for the ONS! And what do you mean many pieces don't exist now? You bought it with out having all the pieces? It is a marvelous thing to have! So cool!

@espyetta they are ceramic and have broken. My kids were young and the dog has a sweeping tale. So I just keep the pieces.

I love their little faces! Great DOF!
