Gothic Chess isn't my bag, but I noticed that the House Of Staunton is selling a wooden Gothic set (big bucks, not a cheap set!). Unless I'm misreading the information, the stated price is just for the set, not including the board. It's not clear to me if the set's in stock; It might be a special order item.

I found this page an interesting read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gothic_chess

I was so pleased to find that other people don't believe Ed Trice's outrageous claims about the popularity of Gothic Chess.

From what I understand, the only difference is the initial positions of the two "new" pieces, and the fact that Capablanca Chess is completely free, while Gothic Chess is "licensed" (meaning that the "inventor" of Gothic Chess wants to make money off of it).
