Bought for my niece and nephews (8, 6 and 4). At the moment we're still playing checkers, but hopefully bigger players can move on to chess. I wanted a magnet because little ones often bang against the board. Only the chess pieces were magnetic, so we had several games of checkers that ended abruptly when the little brother hit the board. We're going to glue the magnets to the bricks. Overall, the quality is in line with the price!
