Would you like to own this chess set?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Seems like a very Atlas product.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I see this ad all the time and ponder why, in these polarized times, anyone would want to own figurines of major politicians where they are bound to despise at least half of them. Also, why sell this before the Democrats have their official ticket? I know that they say they'll send you the figures, but why not just sell the entire set with them when the time comes?

I assume in that case, you would always have your opponent play with the side you despise most, thereby gaining some quantum of solace whenever you defeat the figurines of the party you oppose every time you win.

I've seen this ad a lot, too, but I'd never buy the set because it's pretty dorky and I hate chess.

I guess, but then what happens if your opponent wins?

Flipping the board, I'd imagine.

I like Chess...but I would have liked this set more if Warren was the Democratic nominee.

Having Joe Biden be my "King" just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

[T'Chenka]

I'd prefer...

Obama Biden Pelosi Schumer Hillary Buttigieg Klobuchar Harris plus 8 pawns
versus
Bernie AOC Warren Omar Pressley Turner Jayapal Khanna plus 8 pawns

[Santander]

Seems like a very Atlas product.

And not in a good way.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

Not really.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

this is disturbing, esp Nancy Pelosi riding a donkey.


It would be cool to have a chess set with historical presidents, ex:

Kings: Lincoln, FDR
Queens: Ike, Truman
Bishops: Coolidge, Garfield, Wilson, Obama
Knights: TR, Grant, Jackson, Polk
Rooks: McKinley, Reagan, JFK, LBJ

It doesn't seem very Atlas to me. The advertising is so obviously geared toward mush-brained talk radio listeners that even if it were somewhat interesting as a product there is no way I'd spend money on it.

Because this way they can charge you twice. They didn't say they'd simply give you the figures, they said they'd let you know when you could acquire them.

The ads say they will let you replace the Democratic king and queen with the presidential and vice presidential nominees are declared, but then there will be two Bidens?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Yes, I would buy this, it is unique and quite of a novelty. Yes, it is dorky. But so what?

[NewYorkExpress]

The ads say they will let you replace the Democratic king and queen with the presidential and vice presidential nominees are declared, but then there will be two Bidens?

The only way that scenario could have been realistic would have been Hillary Clinton moving back to Illinois in 1992 to serve as Bill's running mate.

Jill Biden isn't particularly interested in being on the ticket, Beau is dead, and Hunter actually is involved in the Burisma scandal.

There won't be a second Biden on the Democratic Ticket.

But there will be two Joe Bidens in this chess set, once as king (nominee) and once as rook (former VP).

Which makes no sense. Just give the rook position to say...Adam Schiff or Bill Clinton (I assume he's going to campaign for Biden somewhere)

It makes as much sense as this set. The rooks for both parties are the most recent former president and vice president from that party in a seated position.

No, it's nice, but its gonna collect dust on the shelf
