Review on ๐ŸŽฒ Portable Backgammon Checkers Set by Magnetic Joneytech by Tim Ram

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for

Great travel set to use as a study set for my 6 year old. Every other starter set I've tried at Walmart had such cheap, lightweight chess pieces that we couldn't play without knocking them over all the time. This set is good quality for the price, magnetic to keep it from falling off and they are nice thick plastic with nice detailing not those cheap plastic bits. These pieces even weigh enough that we could use them on her non-magnetic beginner's board that I bought her (I threw away the chess pieces that came with one because they were insanely cheap, light and yellowed). what the knight, queen, and castle pieces look like, and I also needed white pieces, not the yellowish "ivory" I found all along. I like it when the knight looks like a horse and the queen looks very different from the king and bishop. The parts this board came with were exactly what I wanted. Nicely formed quality plastic parts, light weight thanks to magnets, they are the closest to what I grew up with and studied with. I love this set.
