Pirates Chess Set Reviews
Eurobricks
“So many pieces and so many minifigures… it's worth every penny. If I were going to keep this built, I would have to do some thorough overhauling on the landscaping sections, but since I'm not, I can feel good about giving it a good average and then tearing it up to build... More something better. I'm sure I'm going to get some great use out of these pieces…”

“LEGO chess is back, and unlike the 2012 Kingdoms set, this one returns to the ideal foundation of a pure brick-based build, adding a decent storage system, to boot.”
Bricks and Bloks
“The 2015 LEGO Chess Set is every bit as cool as you’d imagine, with a 14? by 9? brick-built chess board and 32 brick-built playing pieces (including twenty–yes, twenty–minifigures). Even if you don’t absolutely love chess, if you want to army-build LEGO Pirates minifigures,... More LEGO 40158 is the set to buy.”
