American themes are very popular in thematic chessmen. From the U.S. Revolution or Civil War to World War II, there have always been a large variety. These don’t just focus on American wars or conflicts in chess pieces, but also other classic Americana themes, from the Wild West to Jazz Singers and Firemen and Police Officer Theme Sets.

Medieval Theme Chess Sets

Medieval themes are perhaps the most popular style of figurine chessmen. This is because the chessmen often represent the same design as their namesake - a king is a king, and a knight is a knight. From the famous Isle of Lewis Chessmen to the Crusades, medieval themes are a great choice for those looking for a themed chess set and board that is still easily recognizable.

Ancient Historical Theme Chess Sets

Another classic style of chessmen, Ancient themes include many popular figurine styles such as Egyptian, Greek, and Roman versus Egyptian chess sets. There are others depicting Greco-Roman gods and goddesses of classical mythology. Like medieval sets, there is often a close relationship between the traditional chess pieces and what they represent.

European Theme Chess Sets

There are many European chess themes available beyond Napoleon and Wellington (although they are the most famous!). These sets depict everything from important land battles of Europe and Britain to the struggle between pirates and the British navy. With a complex and rich history there are chessmen based on several different monarchs.

Asian Themed Sofas

This traditional Chinese playground game develops children's ball skills and their concentration - it really keeps them on their toes! It is probably best for children aged 6 or older and can be played indoors or outdoors.

Asian Themed Baby Shower Games

Children stand around in a circle with a ball as appropriate for the age group (such as a basketball).

The ball is thrown quickly around and across the circle. When a child catched the ball, the children on either side must raise one arm - the arm nearest the child with the ball - and hold it in the air until the ball is passed on to another child.

If a child fails to catch the ball, or fails to raise the correct arm when their neighbour catches the ball, or is too slow to pass the ball along, they drop out. When there are only 5 children left in the circle, they are all declared winners, and the game starts again.
