John Jaques 4 1850 Staunton Chess Set
John Jaques Staunton Chess Pieces were born, and to quote from a famous book on early chess Throughout its history, nothing made such an impact on the design of chessmen as the introduction of the English Staunton Chess Pieces.
Simple symbols were used for each piece, a crown for the king, a coronet for the queen, a mitre for the bishop and a castle for the rock. The horses head for the knight was taken from marble sculpture on the Parthenon in Athens and the pawn was based on the Freemasons Square and Compasses. The set was launched in late 1847 with quite a fervour having an entire front page column of the Morning Herald dedicated to it. With this free press and superlative design success was virtually guaranteed and within 10 years nearly all important chess games were played with Staunton Chessmen, which is still the case today.
Staunton Chess Sets have been produced continually by John Jaques from 1847 up to the present day, except during wartime. Production ceased on ivory sets in the early 1930s, but Boxwood sets continued right up to the outbreak of the war. After the war it was almost impossible to obtain ivory or ebony, but production recommenced using Boxwood only and black staining and black polishing for the black pieces.
This brings us to the original Staunton pieces produced today by Jaques. These are made in exactly the same materials and to the same specification as the original Boxwood and Ebony sets and they are polished by hand, with no lacquering being used. This brings on the natural colour and feel of the wood.
The craftsmanship of this 4 set matches that of the larger Jaques sets and exhibits the same exquisite design. Each piece is fitted with handmade English Leather cushions with beautiful gold block Jaques branding. The set is stored in a solid mahogany case and the case is lined with the finest English woollen baize.
The John Jaques 4 1850 Staunton Chess Set allows you to relive a piece of chess history every time you remove it from your beautiful cabinet. A Limited Edition of 500 sets, each set has a numbered replica of the original Jaques Staunton Chess label signed by the current company Directors, and if you send back the return part of the registration certificate your name will be added to the Jaques Staunton Chess History Archives. This set comes complete with a beautiful handmade inlaid wooden chess board, specially made for this set.

The King is 4 Tall and the other pieces descend from him.

Sudokube
Forget about England, Sudoku is taking the entire world by storm! It is one of the biggest crazes the world has ever seen and doesnt seem to be losing its popularity in the slightest. Quite the opposite in fact, with sales breaking new records every week!
Every newspaper and every magazine has a Sudoku section and there are TV shows, books, internet sites and many more. You name it, they have Sudoku!
Such a craze for a puzzle hasnt been seen since the Rubiks Cube was launched in the 1980s. The Rubiks Cube has sold an incredible 300 million copies to date and an eighth of the worlds population has handled one! Not bad for something developed by a poor Hungarian waiter!
Sudoku is proving every bit as popular and should even beat the popularity of the Rubiks Cube in a couple of years. Whod have thought that could ever happen!
Well imagine what would happen if Sudoku met Rubiks Cube... That would surely be the most popular puzzle of all time!
Imagine no longer! We give you the Sudokube.
Its effectively a Rubiks cube but made of numbers rather than colours. The idea of the game is to get the numbers 1-9 on each side of the cube. You play in the same way as you do a Rubiks Cube, but need to get the numbers on each side as you would in a Sudoku grid. Youve got the best of both games.
This promises to be every bit as addictive as both Rubiks Cube and Sudoku! It should delight fans of either, and if youre a fan of both it will be the Holy Grail of puzzles!
Dimensions:
7cm x 7cm x 7cm (approx 2.5)
Please note: Price applies to one Sudokube only. Colour may vary from that shown above.

Air Hockey is one of the finest indoor games known to man. Its official! For most people, the only way to play this great game is to venture down to the local arcade or bowling alley armed with a pocketful of £1 coins! You and your best mate can then do battle for hours to see who is king of the table! If you can get on it that is!
Thankfully such worries are no more, as you can now buy an arcade quality table to use in your own home! Recent times have seen the introduction of some great Air Hockey Tables - including the mighty fine Hurricane Air Hockey Table. A fine table this may be, but it doesnt look as good as the Vortex and doesnt have an electronic scoreboard! This will, of course, lead to argument after argument about who is winning, especially if the scoring is close!
This is no longer the problem with the introduction of the Vortex Air Hockey Table!
This stylish full-size 7ft x 4ft air hockey table is beautifully finished in matt black with chrome effect corners and piping. Suitable for 2-4 players, it includes 6 pucks, 4 strikers and an electronic scoreboard.
It has a powerful electric motor for fast, smooth puck action (please note that this requires a mains connection).
It doesnt accept coins, so youll just have to leave your money on the side. Hooray!
