5.0 out of 5 stars Great multi-gameboard
This is a great traditional gameboard for family game nights. It is not made very sturdy and is probably too big to be considered for travel. But this should hold up for as often as will be using it for our occasional game nights.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great cheap set!
You get what you pay for! This is a great first set for my 6 & 8 yr old sons. They are loving chess and checkers. Backgammon not so much, but who honestly likes that game? The set is definitely very cheap. It's essentially very thick card stock doubled over. But it's holding up well and i do not regret this purchase at all! We'll get a few years out of it for sure. The boys love chess enough that the next set will be nicer, but this is a great first set without knowing if they'd like chess.
4.0 out of 5 stars yup.
Somehow I thought there'd be a third set of pieces for the backgammon board. It indicates the checkers pieces are for that, too. I suppose it does nicely about resourcefulness. Smaller and separate pieces would have suited me personally though since we have a different, little board collecting dust. Well, you win some...The chess pieces aren't too bad. A bit on the light plasticy side, functional though and are sized pretty well. They'll probably fall over if you're trying to play in a moving vehicle. Yet for a table game that you simply want to play or teach chess with and aren't worried about "quality," this is for you. Also comes with checkers that do stack (woohoo!) and a pair of dice, plus a list of other games you could try with these pieces. For roughly ten dollars on technically three games to start, I'd say this is a nice deal.The board is durable so it is flimsy, but it's not completely flat either. Cosmetically, a whole corner had a line of white that looked like the paint was scraped off. I'll upload a picture when I get around to it.To recap, a perfectly fuctional chess, checkers and backgammon set. I like the color scheme. On the plus side of being cheap, you could play with this until your pocket is ready for a more 'solid' set.Can't complain. Nothing missing or broken on arrival.[edit 7/14/15 -- Cat keeps knocking down the game pieces when we leave it on the table. So we know now he jumps up there regularly during the night. Hey, kitty, share your strategy with one of us.
5.0 out of 5 stars very cheap but perfect to learn on
be careful, the pieces are so light the wind will blow them off the board
3.0 out of 5 stars Checkers Good, Chess Good, Board and Box not so good.
I hope this review will be informative, I have both positive and negative feedback on this product :Box: 1/5: The the top of the box appears to be made of 1/32" single walled cardboard, thin but the corrugation gives it much needed strength. the bottom of the box however is made of what I approximate to be between 24 and 30pt cardstock (~.7mm thick) about the same as most cereal boxes, and not adequate for a box of its size or fill level to give much if any protection to its contents. I would not recommend leaving it in its standard box if you plan to use it as a travel set.Board 2/5:, The board is usable, but is rather flimsy at roughly 1/16" (1.5mm) thick, mine came with a white creased bend along one edge where the box was lightly crushed during shipping(see picture). I would not say it lives up to the "durable" descriptor on the box.Chess pieces 4/5: hollow, injection molded plastic and therefore Light, flashing on sides is very minimal, but a few of the pieces have larger bits of flashing on the bottom, most of it comes of easily, but the bottom edges that will require a bit of deburring or sanding before the base will lay flush with the board. they are shaped well though and there are no visible shrinkage or deformation of the pieces.Checkers 4/5: pieces look great. only one had a bit of flashing but it came off easily with a fingernail. that said grooves on top are not good deep enough to get good engagement when kinged.Dice 4/5: both are very good and roll fine. there is only the slightest of residual paint haze from the pips on the a few of the faces, could be due to an inadequate wipe on the cleanup after printing, could just be a slightly porous surface.Overall 3/5: At the price point, I wasn't expecting it to be the best combination chess/checkers & backgammon set ever, but I felt I set my expectation appropriately and was underwhelmed. a stronger box would better keep the lightweight board protected, though a heavier-duty board would also be preferred.I Wish I had looked at the reviews more closely before purchasing, I would have probably bought a different set.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great game!
Enjoying with family
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect boardgame gift to pass time!
I got this for my best friend's dad who's aging along with crossword books. I grew up on board games and think it's a great idea to teach our younger generation as well as play with our older generation to keep our minds sharp. I love Checkers and Backgammon but have no clue about Chess lol
