Really nice travel set

This is a really nice travel set made from quality materials. The carry bag is a nice brown velvet, and the board is made from leather and a soft suede. You use the same pieces for all the games, which cuts down on the number of pieces you have to keep track of. You just flip them over for chess. They included instructions on how to play all three games, which is another added bonus since I know how to play chess and checkers but need to learn backgammon! It has a zipper compartment to store…

Pros
  • The three-in-one feature allows for more game options in one set
Cons
  • Board may be too slippery for some surfaces

Three classic games in one travel set

This set includes a double-sided cloth board (chess/checkers board on one side, backgammon on the other) two sets of playing pieces, five dice, game instructions, and a velvet cloth storage bag.The board is about 10x12 inches, including the storage pouch. The pieces are little plastic (I think, I am no expert in materials) discs, with a chess piece icon on one side, and the other side blank for use in backgammon or checkers. The chess piece icons are clear and easy to identify, as are the…

Pros
  • For All Occasions - A perfect game set for home, outing and camping etc, suitable for both adults and kids.
Cons
  • No storage compartments for pieces

Nice buy ! for my opinion

Very handy for travel , quality is good and have stood up against toddler abuse for few weeks now. I would gift it if the folks you are gifting love to play these games.

Pros
  • Arrived on time and exactly as described. Perfect for travel.
Cons
  • Does not include instructions or rules for beginners

Broke first use. Never got to take anywhere.

Doesn’t lay very flat so backgammon pieces slide off slightly but I figured that would be ok. The real issue is that the snaps are very low quality and broke the first time I unrolled it. Returned and won’t be replacing. Looking for a higher quality item.

Pros
  • Travel Games
Cons
  • Hard to play outdoors due to wind interference

So impressed! - my new review

Backgammon is my go to camping game and it is always difficult with a big board so this nifty set is exactly what I needed. It rolls up easily and when you unroll it it isn’t curling up and being difficult. The board is nice quality, and sewn together well and the pieces and dice appear to be made of epoxy and are beautiful and easy to use. I really like the little pocket that holds everything together and that this comes with a little carrying bag to tuck everything into. This is going on…

Pros
  • The quality of the set ensures longevity, making it a great investment
Cons
  • Pieces may fall out of board during travel or while not in use

Great compact travel game

Board is nice leather like material. Once unrolled it does lay flat. It is double sided. There is zip pouch which holds the pieces and dice. It also comes with instructions for those who do not know how to play the games. The prices stay on the board and don’t roll off. Great value for three games.

Pros
  • The set includes a convenient storage compartment
Cons
  • The navy blue color may not be appealing to all users

A Nice Take on Traveling with a Game

My son recently got into checkers and I wanted to get something we could always have with us. This set rolls up nice and compact and all of the pieces are well captured inside the roll. My only criticism is that the bag that this comes with feels like that inexpensive fake velvet which doesn't seem to match the quality and materials of the rest of the set.

Pros
  • Perfect for a relaxing afternoon at home or at a park
Cons
  • No way to indicate which player goes first

Great compact and uniting

My ten year old son and I were occupied and had a great time as we traveled through Europe this summer. Easy to pack, take out, and play

Pros
  • The navy blue color gives the set a sophisticated look
Cons
  • Pieces are too smooth and may slip out of hand during play

VERY poor Quality for my opinion

Was afraid even to open as the felt that held the roll together was so thin it would tear on one or two uses. Very carefully opened and was no where near as nice as one from a different company for only 2 dollars more. Like the concept but that is all.

Pros
  • The set makes a great conversation piece in any setting
Cons
  • No option to purchase additional pieces or colors

Nice game set for traveling

This is a compact game set for on the road. It is small and quite compact altars uplittle space. At home I prefer to use my larger set but pn the road this works fine for the kids.

Pros
  • Perfect size.
Cons
  • Pieces easily slide around during play

Good idea but too small

I bought this thinking it would be great for our RV. Everything is just too small for to our liking. In addition, the roll up board doesn’t lay flat well. For the cost, it wasn’t worth it for us. I returned it. Everything is ok in quality, but basic.

Pros
  • Timeless design with modern upgrades
Cons
  • Using a different color than navy blue can cause the board to look mismatched

Perfect for travel good for me

This board combines 3 games (Chess, checkers and Backgammon) and is perfect for travel - it rolls up so it can be tucked into any hand luggage - small enough to play even on a plane or in an airport but big enough to use in a vacation hotel or house.Perfect as a gift for birthdays for boys and girls.

Pros
  • A smart way to spend time with family and friends
Cons
  • No carrying handle or strap for easier transport

Cheap look and feel. Not worth the money.

This game is not worth $38. Just played with it for the first time, because I was not home when it came. Now it is past the return date. It does not lay flat. pieces move all over the place because it is not magnetic. Very cheaply made. Could never use this for traveling because it is not sturdy enough. Do not buy this at all.

Pros
  • 10.8 ounces
Cons
  • No way to replace lost or damaged pieces

Great Little Travel Set - Very Giftable

We got this for our family gift exchange this year since the theme was "Game On". We chose to do a selection of classic games mixed with fun modern games. This set was perfect for gifting - it's a great little travel set that they can take with them anywhere and easily rolls up so it can be stored in tighter spaces at home. This was a win!

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • Board is too reflective and may cause eye strain

Packs easy - my new review

It's smaller than I realized but it works. Getting it to lay flat was a little bit of a challenge. Recommend unrolling it when you get to your destination and laying something on it to flatten it out.It's definitely much easier than packing a full size game.

Pros
  • Very nice as a gift! We enjoyed it very much waiting for our 4h delayed flight 😊
Cons
  • Board and pieces are prone to scratching and damage

Compact and good for Travel

There are a lot of chess boards out there, I was looking out for something that comes out in a compact form factor that i can take around when we travel as a family. Quality is good and is off decent size. Not too big or not too small.

Pros
  • The product was in good shape and all the pieces were provided. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Cons
  • Not customizable

Clever design in my review

One thing not mentioned in the descriptions are the quality of the game pieces: rich looking, like fancy stones tho checker shaped, of course. I find the entire set well crafted and wonderfully compact with well designed storage for travel or even putting away neatly at home.

Pros
  • Unlike electronic games, this set requires no batteries or charging
Cons
  • No option to upgrade to a larger size
