Tintin plays chess...

Found this one in my archives, which I'd forgotten all about. If I understand correctly, it was produced by Pixi in 1995, and only 1,000 sets were made.

The figures seem remarkably detailed, altho I'm not quite sure what happened to La Castafiore. Post weight-loss regime, maybe?

A quick web search is suggesting that these sets are now worth ~£3,000. 😯

Could it be true..?

A french comic book store owner once told me : with Tintin stuff, prices are always out of this world.

So yes, it very well could be true

Can you use the V2 as ICBMs or strictly moon travel?

ICBM's, but they only fire orthogonally.

The board is set up wrong. A1 is a dark square

It was set up by Thompson and Thomson.
