The chess table is a piece of recreation furniture that provides cerebral recreation when used by colonists, as well as small trickle of intellectual skill experience.
It is the equivalent to the neolithic Game-of-Ur board, and only available to factions of Medieval tech level or above.
Acquisition[edit]
Chess tables can be constructed once the Complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires 70 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 700 for SVMs) and 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material. Chess tables can only be constructed by New Arrivals. New Tribes can never construct chess tables, and instead have the exclusive ability to construct game-of-Ur boards.
They are also available from Outlander traders and faction bases, and as quest rewards.
Summary[edit]
 | This section could use some more or updated images. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this section better. Note: All valid chair placements, see sleep accelerator for example. |
Chess tables must have chairs directly adjacent to it to be used. Up to two colonists at a time can sit in these chairs to play at the chess table, and gain comfort from the chairs as normal. The rate at which colonists gain Recreation from playing chess depends on the quality of the table, but the rate of gain is constant as long as the game is played. Note that a colonist playing chess alone gives the same recreation as playing at the same time as another.
Playing chess also improves the player's Intellectual skill at a meager rate of 0.002 XP per tick, or 0.12 XP per real-time second.

Analysis[edit]
Chess tables are one of the early recreational items, built once the colony has outgrown the Horseshoe pin alone. They are relatively cheap and effective and should be built early to provide variety to your colonists.
Compared to other recreation items, the chess table uses twice the materials of it's tribal equivalent, the game-of-Ur board, but has a significantly higher base recreation power (100% vs. 80%). It also provides 33% more Intellectual skill XP than the Game-of-Ur board. It is advisable to replace any game-of-Ur boards with a chess table as soon as possible, so long as the boards are not of a sufficiently higher quality to make up for the deficit.
The chess table is a very cheap option for intellectual play and gives a significant amount of recreational power at higher crafting levels, but does not produce as much cerebral play value as a poker table. It does not require cloth, however, and is an acceptable substitute until cloth can be grown or traded for a poker table. Once poker tables are available however, they should replace chess tables entirely.
