It’s a tale of two cities. Setting the scene for the architectural greats to battle it out, this Special Edition set takes the most iconic buildings in the world and pits them against each other on the chess board.

King – One World Trade Tower / Canary Wharf
Queen 
– Empire State Building / The Shard
Bishop – Chrysler Building / 30 St. Mary Axe
Knight – Flatiron Building / London Eye
Rook – Guggenheim Museum / Big Ben
Pawn – Brownstone House / Terraced House

London’s most-notable architecture takes on New York’s skyline in this special edition. Big Ben, London Eye, St Mary Axe, The Shard and Canary Wharf play against Brownstone House, Guggenheim, Flatiron, Chrysler, Empire State Building and One World Trade Tower.

This monochrome acrylic set plays a perfect nod to the concrete tones within the world of architecture, while allowing the form and detail of each building to be truly appreciated.

As each piece is handmade, small imperfections can happen. This part of the handmade process is what makes the products unique and should not be seen as a fault. Each set comes complete with a hand screen-printed black & white wooden playing board and in a presentation box.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
