Minifig Facts
In LEGO Chess (set 5702), the Crazy LEGO King guides players through the castle's throne room, which serves as the game's main hub and menu. Selecting "How to Play" takes players to the King's Study, where the King explains chess rules and strategies, awarding records (bronze, silver, gold, or platinum) based on player performance. After completing the Story Game, a cutscene shows the King offering his crown and throne to the player. When playing with the traditional chess set, both the Crazy LEGO King and his rival (a palette-swapped version of the King) appear as advisors. Additionally, the game's instruction manual is narrated in the first person by the King.
