About
A game cabinet on a shelf holds its own kind of quiet authority, the kind that makes a room feel like a place where people actually gather. The WS Game Company Heirloom Edition 7-in-1 game set is built around that idea: a stained walnut cabinet, 13.2 pounds, that opens to reveal a reversible gameboard veneered in Rosewood and Tiger Maple, one side laid out for chess and checkers, the other for backgammon. The weight alone signals that this is not a set purchased to check a box.
The chess pieces are handcarved solid wood, weighted and felt-bottomed, sourced from craftspeople in India. They sit with the kind of stability that makes the act of moving them feel deliberate rather than casual. Beyond chess and backgammon, the cabinet stores resin checkers, dominoes, poker dice, playing cards, and a cribbage board constructed from walnut and maple with proper pegs, which is the sort of detail that distinguishes a complete set from a one.
What WS Game Company has understood here is that a game set used across decades earns its place differently than one used occasionally. The seven-game format means the cabinet stays relevant as the room changes around it, whether it's a chess afternoon or a long evening of cribbage. The construction is honest about its ambitions without overstating them. This is a set for households that take games seriously enough to want one object that handles all of them, and keeps them in order.
