Review on Yellow Mountain Imports Travel Magnetic by Zachary Cha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Temper Expectations

I picked up this board about six months ago. I carry it in my backpack and play with classmates at my college about four days a week. This is a great travel size but the product is a lot smaller than the photos suggest. The parts are small and some have fallen apart. The pieces come in two halves with a free-moving magnet in the middle. For a budget product this is great, but after playing with it for a few months the size wore me down. I would say this product is perfect for those who want to try the water and don't have more than $50 to spend on a potential hobby. The magnets aren't strong enough to be played in a moving vehicle, but are strong enough to protect against bumps and the like.

Pros
  • Portable yet handy Size: Dimensions: 1.9 x 0.4 x 2.1 cm (0.75 x 0.16 x 0.83 inch); Silver and Gold General: 0.71 x 0.16 x 0.79 inches (1.8 x 0.4 x 2 centimeters); Pawns: 0.59 x 0.16 x 0.67 inches (1.5 x 0.4 x 1.7 centimeters)
