Roll-up checker set.
The ROLZ Checker Set is a stained and lacquered solid maple and leather board with coordinated wood veneered checker pieces that rolls up in a leather carrying case for storage. "The challenge was to reinvent the way we interpret a classic flat game board," explains designer Matt Carr. "No one has attempted to make a portable game of such high quality luxurious materials. We wanted these games to be as interactive and fun to set up as they are to play." Indeed.
