🧲 Magnetic Travel Chess Checkers Set: Convenient & Portable Board Games for On-the-Go Entertainment Review

Good size board and chess pieces easy to handle for both children and adults. The stones are too small. The magnetic feet in each part are very good to keep them from falling off. Felt bottoms on chess pieces are great. The main disadvantage is that checkers scratch the playing field. Too bad this set comes with bags to store the pieces. When you have a game board open there is no solution to keep checkers if you play chess for example. It will be easy to lose pieces. A chess board is better…

I bought it to play with my kids. The price was right and I wasn't expecting much. Details are well weighed and drawn onto the board. (So if a kid comes in and bangs on the table, your pieces won't fly all over the place) The board actually snaps into place, which is pretty handy.

The "hinges" are just extensions of the plastic so they can fail over time, but that's not a problem for me (a…

I wanted a cheap 15" + board, chess and checkers, free shipping with Amazon ($35+). It was the only one I found that matched the bill. Rating: pros/cons + it was cheap + it was 15 inches which was good for the price + there are checkerboard patterns + a travel magnet magnets add weight to the pieces to make them look solid + the underside of the chess pieces was good I could to move each piece smoothly over each cage + you can fold it down to serve as storage and it closes and latches so you…

Bought this set thinking of taking it to the tournament in Honolulu on March 19-22 (part of the 2015 Hawaiian Chess Festival). They supply kits, boards and clocks for the tournament. I would use this set in my hotel room as an analysis set to review my games, study openings etc, in my room between rounds etc. For me this is a decent set. I like that the pieces are quite large and magnetic. When I received the set, a magnet and the circular piece of tape holding it (the tape also behaves the…
