Clue Premier Edition


Some games are just meant to be created in 3-D from the start, and Clue with its many rooms and little murder weapon playing pieces is certainly one of them. The Clue Premier Edition is a luxury board game that is just as fun to play as it is to look at. With each of the 9 rooms designed in sunken 3 dimensional color complete with furnishings, you can look down into the world of secrets and murder and put the clues together one by one to win the game. The only thing missing? Little 3-D people to represent the characters. $150

The Mammoth Ivory Collector Series Luxury Chess Set


There aren't many games in the world that are bought by people who not only have no idea how to play them, but who realistically have no intention of ever learning. I know how to play chess, although not very well, but I would love to have a nice set someday if only because they look so regal and elegant as part of a room's decor. This chess set, the Mammoth Ivory Collector Series, is made of 40,000 year old mammoth ivory. I'm surprised that ivory that old and from mammoths can even be used for things like this as opposed to being studied or kept in a museum somewhere! Regardless, it certainly is beautiful. And to think of all the history there is in each piece...amazing. $9,999

Hermès Travel Domino Set


I love travel sized games, not just because they're handy on a trip but mostly because the miniature size makes them so adorable. And this travel Dominos set from Hermès is not only adorable, but very classy as well. The individual dominos feature an "H" logo on the back, have rounded corners and edges, and look to be very thin in design (is that a good feature in a domino?). And when you're done playing with, or just admiring, the pieces they all fit nicely into the stylish leather case.

So, do people really play Dominos while traveling, or this just a gimmick? Either way, I kinda want one.

The 'Good versus Evil' Foosball Table


It might say something significant about you, or your mood at least, depending what side you choose to play in this foosball game that takes "lights versus darks" to a whole new level. In Good versus Evil Foosball team players that have never met before get to battle it out for the win, some of the most interesting being (to me anyway) Mary Poppins and Christopher Robin on the good side versus Jack the Ripper and Hitler on the evil side, to name just a few.

I hope Mary and Chris have some tricks up their sleeves (or skirt) because as optimistic as I might be that "good always triumphs" I suspect they're about to get their butts kicked. Apparently when the team was recruiting we were short on tough good guy figures.

Glam Wii Wear

Wii Weights might help you lose a few pounds while experimenting with the newest Nintendo system, but WiiFanboy drew our attention to a recent feature in City Magazine that picked out designer outfits for playing sports with the Wii. For tennis enthusiasts, they recommend a Polo Ralph Lauren vest and polo, a Tiffany diamond bangle, P'8419 sunglasses and, if one-piece outfits are more your style, a map dress from Lacoste. The article covers boxing, bowling, baseball and golf. We still like the Ralph Lauren Wimbledon outfits better than these ensembles, but a little sporty inspiration is never a bad thing.

Scrabble Benches

Even though these are really a custom piece and there is no pricing information, we absolutely love these Scrabble Benches from designer Stephen Reed. They are located in the employee break room at the London branch of Bloomberg financial services. The screen-printed pillows have all the classic scrabble letters, so employees can spell out messages or leave notes. It seems like it would be a lot of fun to have these at home, where you could leave little notes for your spouse in the morning or get everyone involved in a game at a party.

John Hardy Domino Set

It is difficult to say whether dominos is a game that is actually out of fashion, or whether it will become fashionable, but whether you play or not, the sets can be used as an accessory to improve the look of a room, even if they are not played with. Think of them as an alternative to one of those decorative chess sets that people buy and rarely use. The John Hardy Domino Set is made of black palm wood, hand-carved in Bali by local craftsmen, and the pieces come in a storage box made from the same material. The dots on each piece are finished with sterling silver, providing an elegant contrast to the handsome wood. Price: $895.

Limited Edition Silver Xbox 360 by Christofle

While we're not really into gaming here at Luxist, we do like our games to be glam, if at all possible. At the Colette boutique in Paris, Christofle is offering five solid-silver, limited edition faceplates for the X-Box 360. Only five will be released in the whole world, so if you want one you will have to snag it as soon as possible when they are released later this year. Each one is priced at around €1000 ($1,260 US).

All-Weather Foosball Table

When it comes to outdoor gaming, most things have to be kept indoors and taken outside only when you want to use them. This is fine when the game you want to play is darts or involves some other small, easily moved piece of equipment, but more exciting games risk being ruined when exposed to sun or rain. This All-Weather Foosball Table solves the problems of backyard gaming because it can be kept outside all year round. The sleek table is made by the Spanish company RS-Barcelona of stainless steel with aluminum players. It will not corrode and is suitable for any climate conditions. Each corner has a drink holder, to maximize player comfort during long tournaments, and the legs have slip-resistant rubber bases to ensure the table's stability. Of course, the table can also be used indoors and its modern design would enhance any game room, as well as any patio. Price: $3,998.
