I was at the Roselius' this weekend and they had a chess board with carved stone game pieces.  The pieces were just some sort of tribal theme, with elephants, a monkey, and stuff like that.  I've always loved the themed chess boards.  I've seen peuter civil war sets, star wars sets, and a bunch of others.  So i want to make game pieces, i guess just out of wood...but maybe sculpt them out of clay or something...not sure.  But I definitely want to make a set.
