Review on ๐Ÿ”ต Magnetic Checkers Set by Yellow Mountain Imports by Kenneth Cotton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good at such a low price

And no, the stones are not magnetic. Who needs checkers? I think I dropped her. First, all chess pieces are traditional, meaning no oddly shaped pieces. The board is a less traditional color but I like silver/black more than white/black, it's less eye straining. The board is well magnetized and all parts stick well. I turned the board over when it had pieces on it and shook it lightly and none of the pieces fell off. It is impressive. The box is a joke, but just throw it away. The board folds in half and holds the pieces. Of course they should lie (except maybe pawns), but that's okay. I wouldn't say that this is the prettiest or most visually appealing chess. This is a great board for everyday use, travel friendly and ideal for beginners or those who want no frills chess. Doubly great for travel because you won't lose more than $8 (paid $7 and switched with free prime shipping for me). So if you leave it in your hotel room, it's fine. Sure, there are free chess apps for mobile, but playing on an app doesn't replace human play on a real board. Good product, fast delivery, all the figures arrived in perfect condition. Very satisfied.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Minor problems
