The chess table is a piece of recreation furniture that provides cerebral recreation when used by colonies, as well as small trickle of Intellectual skill experience.

It is the "New Arrivals" equivalent to the Game-of-Ur board.

Acquisition

Chess tables can be constructed by "New Arrivals" colonies once the Complex furniture research project has been completed. They require  70 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 700 for SVMs) and 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work. "New Tribes" can instead only build the Game-of-Ur board.

They are also available from Outlander traders and as quest rewards.

Summary

Must have chairs directly adjacent to it to be used by colonists. Sometimes a colonist will play chess alone to 'practice'. Chess improves the player's Intellectual skill at a meager rate.

Analysis

Compared to other recreation items, the Chess Table uses twice the materials of it's earlier equivalent, the Game-of-Ur board, but gives significantly more recreational power. It is advisable to replace any Game-of-Ur boards with a Chess Table as soon as possible.

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.
