Xiangqi table

A neat xiangqi set, consisting of a wooden mini-table, with the (plastic) pieces stored in two small drawers.

Note that the plastic pieces consist of two discs: a white disc bearing the Chinese characters on top of a semi-translucent disc. Makes them stand out a bit more compared to the default plastic pieces.

All in all, a nice set, well worth what I paid for it on eBay.

Don Quixote set

I'd seen this Don Quixote set on eBay a few times already, but always with starting bids or buy-it-now prices that I really couldn't justify. Until one listing didn't specify it was a Don Quixote set ... I think the seller wasn't aware what they were selling, but that served me well.

The box containing the pieces didn't come with a board, and I felt the set would fit very nicely on the resin board resembling leather that I got quite a while ago and also used for my Arthurian set.

No brownie points for guessing the identity of the major pieces! Obviously, Don Quixote is the king, Dulcinea the queen, Sancho Panza the bishop and Rocinante the knight. Rooks are wind mills, and the vanes can actually turn!
