Meet CactiChess – the Roll-Up Cactus Chess Set – a display piece that’s also a complete chess set. The “cactus” lives in its pot on your shelf. When it’s game time, lift it out, unroll the cactus into a chessboard, and pull the cacti-themed pieces from the pot. During play, the pot neatly holds captured pieces. Embedded magnets add a satisfying snap when you move.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Display: keep the cactus rolled in the pot—good-looking décor you’ll actually use.
2. Set up: lift the “sand” lid, take out the two colour sets, unroll the cactus to form the flat board (the little “spines” help it sit level).
3. Play: magnets in the bases give a gentle, satisfying hold.
4. Pack down: roll the board, return the pieces to the pot, replace the lid.

Designed by ForgeCore
📌 Given the nature of 3D printing, slight irregularities like layer lines, surface texture variations, and minor imperfections may be present in our homemade items. However, these nuances are part of the charm and uniqueness of each piece. They are hardly noticeable during regular use and only become apparent upon close inspection.
