 :lol:  now you mention it...

The queen looks a bit too plain I think. Maybe a crown... or Cleopatra or something?  :)

Yeah a crown or some high Roman headdress...I had limited material to work with. Can't be Cleo because the opposing army would be Egyptians, only I don't have enough klickies to make it.

That's good, didn't catch the chess set thing until you mentioned it.
The opposition could be barbarians too. Plenty of those available still these days.

Yeah but I'm a purist and would only use the Gauls (7924 aka "The Asterix set") and the Gaul leader (7923 aka "Vercingetorix"). And that's not enough to make a chess army.

Oi, watch your back before Playmobil Corporate comes in and steals your idea.  ;)

I'll sue the lederhosen off those thieving bastards from Zirndorf!

Joking aside, I feel like I've seen this idea before, namely a chess set made of klickies, so someone else would probably get the royalties.

I don't think anyone is going to get royalties to be honest.  :-\
But still, I could totaly see a legit PM chess set selling in a store.

ACW would make a great theme for a PM chess set. The queens could have those giant dresses. Rooks would be cannons.
