I'd have a hard time playing with that set. I play with a gold and silver set now, and not only is it sometimes difficult to see the color difference, my pieces are traditional shaped, and I still have trouble keeping track of them sometimes.
Imagine trying to remember that the Long Colt was the rook and the 44 Mag was a Bishop ect, it'd drive ya nuts. But I'll bet it would look pretty cool in your game room.
