IC Form (https://forms.gle/fAqYmZFVrrQB7N1bA)
The Kit
16 doubleshot line-only and fill-only chess pieces, each in WoB, BoW, Beige keycaps color and legend colors, as well as 3C and 3B beige accents color. All GMK stock colors (CR, WS1, L9, U9, 3B & 3C) — 160 pcs total. Regular GMK banderole will be provided upon shipping if this set gets made.
These novelties feature the most familiar chess icons out there — straight from the standard designs used in books, publications, and top online chess platforms worldwide. They're the pieces every player recognizes instantly, the ones we've all grown up seeing.
*On the IC form there is a 92 pcs kit option that I also propose (if the 160 pcs turns out to be too much) so please help fill the form out if you’re interested!

Thank you all for the responses :-*
Based on the feedbacks until today:
- I have decided to go with 162 pcs option. This comes with the banderole packaging (perfect for gifting your loved ones!)
- Meaning there's only one SKU, not going to split into more than 1 kit.
- Will probably offer another chess mat color other than proposed. Most likely be an orthodox black and white chess board.
- As for the keycap color, some have suggested N9 with CP legend keycaps for this set. Possible color alternative below:
so, option 1 is the initial proposed kit:

Option 2: Removing 3B and 3C entirely and add N9 (with CP legends):

Option 3: Splitting the beige mods and alphas to fit N9; 3B and 3C kept as the initial kitting.

I personally like the 3rd option as I wanted to keep 3B and 3C (unless there's a better alternative of color/theme that is also timeless and iconic).
Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think!
