About this model

This is a replica of the chess pieces from the game in Big Brother season 18. Abe Ruiz Design created the set for the show, and though some of the pieces are custom and not yet available, you can buy similar sets and other cities at If you are feeling lucky, you can print each side as a full set, but the full New York plate might be too big for some printers. The sets of eight are all small enough for 4" plates. Individual models are also provided to allow creation of custom arrangements. Many thanks to the authors of the "Remixed From" sources included in this set! Please see the source thing pages for original attribution.
