Mid-Price: For a playful take on a serious game, Umbra’s wobble chess set ($300) has a board made of concave cherry and maple wood squares that cause each round-bottomed piece to sway.
Splurge: Part art piece, part mental therapy, Finding Sequence ($1,598) is made by Mizzonk Workshop, a Maple Ridge, British Columbia-based company specializing in limited-edition furniture and home accessories. Users can remove the three coiled strings of clay beads from the cedar box to form shapes.
