Nixie tubes have the ability to make anything look modern yet antiquated as seen with the Nixie Chess Set Game we have here. Designed and available for purchase from Etsy retailer Lasermad (AKA Anthony Adams), the game consists of the individual chess pieces being outfitted with a glowing Nixie tube. Each one displays a symbol pertaining to the piece that it represents, which makes the set a modern yet somewhat retro set to play the classic game.
The Nixie Chess Set Game features a high-quality build that makes it look more like a work of art than an actual working board game. The set comes with an equally beautiful board for playing and storing the pieces, and features a touch of abstract design.
