Checkers Set in Folding Wooden Case - 100 Playing Field - 15-1/2''

I have bought many games online and disappointed at the size of the boards. You virtually need a magnifying glass to play on these boards. This board is so well made and sturdy. It's the normal size for a board game which is hard to find anymore. Also, as a kid, I played 'DRAUGHT' (CHECKERS to many here) with 20 squares. This is the international version. I have searched for years and finally found one.It is easily stowed away and locked to carry on a trip. The pieces fit neatly and tight in place in the wooden box frame, so they won't fall out or get lost.Only negative I have is that the game surface itself is the outside of the board game and so may prematurely wear out with time. I wish it had some kind of protective coating or cover. However, it looks very rugged and well painted in and time will tell.I like this so well, I am getting a second one. I wish other international games like LUDO, SNAKES AND LADDERS, WHOT etc. would not be made so miniature in size. Still looking for a good sized WHOT card game.

The standard American Checkers board is 8 spaces by 8 spaces = 64 spaces and is pretty much a kids or old folks game. This 10 spaces by 10 spaces board = 100 spaces and requires a lot more thinking and strategy. The wood board and wood pieces are well made. Not the normal 8x8 American Checkers with cheap pressed cardboard playing board with cheap plastic made in China. This also makes a unique gift as I have only seen these boards in Europe. Enjoy.

First be aware that this is not an 8x8 American checker board, but a 10x10 board for International Rules. The board itself is good solid wood and well made. The felt on the back of the pieces is unnecessary, prevents easy stacking for kings, and is glued carelessly. The insert that holds the pieces when the case is closed is loose and falls out. Not a big problem, but annoying. All the defects I observed are easily corrected by the purchaser. I enjoy using this board. It is easily stored, requiring little space.

This is a nice wooden set. Pretty surface. A couple of the checkers have minor imperfections & being wood do not have the little ridges the plastic ones have that make "kings" easy, but it feels more handmade than mass produced. I like that it isn't made in China & is renewable woods. The inside has plactic with felt holes to hold the checkers. Maybe that seems a little flimsy, but again, for about $20 this set is really very nice.

I should have taken note that this is not the same size as a regular checker board. It does affect how the game is played. Too bad that it does, because we love the board! It is built beautifully. I also love that it is self contained.

Extremely disappointed. The picture looks as though one can play and store easily. Not true. Once you close and reopen all the checkers are all over. The checkers are made of a poor quality. The storing unit (board) is attractive but certainly not worth the money.

fast ship,packed well, didn't come with instructions but otherwise like brand new when purchased "used". Nice larger size, quality made,like that it folds for storage of pieces. Board and pieces are made of wood which adds to the nice appearance of game.

Came quickly, Product was as expected from reading other reviews.Didn't want to spend a lot on the checker game to play with the grand-kids. I like to take it with me when I visit the kids. Our girls are ages 4-8 years old. The game folds for transporting and the pieces fit inside so none will get lost. As they get older we may consider another game board but this is perfect right now. These Grandparents would give this game board a thumbs up for our early grade school girls.

Nice wooden board. The latches are bit flimsy but if you don't beat on them they should last. The felt liner for holding the pieces is great. Great buy for the $35 that I spent.

Bought this for my grandchildren they loved it .

I like that the pieces store inside of the checker box. Less chance of losing the pieces. It arrived on time and in great shape. I would recommend this set.

We are very happy with product
