GSI - Basecamp Magnetic Chess / Checkers

A classic two-game combo that's built for travel makes the downtime between paddles or around the campsite a lot more enjoyable.

The GSI Basecamp Magnetic Chess and Checkers set centres on a folding magnetic board that opens to a generous 9.5 x 9.5 inches, giving you enough real estate to play comfortably without hunching over a tiny travel set. The magnetic pieces stay put when the board shifts or tips, which matters whether you're mid-game on a bumpy road trip or at a picnic table in a breeze.

When the game wraps up, pieces store inside the board itself, and the whole thing folds down to just under 5 inches wide. It comes with a travel bag to keep everything together so you're not hunting for a missing bishop at the bottom of your dry bag. At 15 oz, it's a reasonable trade for hours of entertainment on longer trips or basecamp days when you're waiting out the weather.
