Hard to follow best in my review

Use on a 10inch tablet anything smaller will make it difficult to play or even learn. My son had the hardest time trying to play. The HELP is useless so I had to return it.

Pros
  • The extensive learn mode teaches everything from single moves to advanced strategies! The move predictor mode helps you understand what your opponent’s next move could be. The 4x4 mini-puzzles help you practice strategies before advancing to a full chessboard. And when you’re ready, outwit your friends and family in 2-player-mode or play against AI in the single-player-mode.
Cons
  • The app required to use the Tacto Chess set may require a stable internet connection, which can be frustrating in areas with spotty service

Pros
  • TACTO CHESS by PlayShifu turns your tablet into an interactive chessboard and uses tactile figurines to drive the gameplay on screen. Tacto is the the easiest way to learn Chess! Tacto makes chess fun and interactive with animated story-based themes. Battle for bananas, candy, and glory!

Worth 0 stars good for me

I bought this for a Christmas present for my granddaughter and decided it would be better to wait to give it to her. After playing 1 time with it myself to see how it worked ( at it was ok, operatged just fine) I packed it back up and placed it in a closet. Now, I brought it back out on her visit here several months later. After trying it on 2 new kindles ( one I bought JUST for her to have for this game) the game WILL NOT play. I keep getting a "can't find server" error. Every other…

Pros
  • Great for group play: Tacto Chess can be played with friends and family, making it an excellent tool for socializing and bonding
Cons
  • Some users may find the voice prompts and sound effects used by the app to be grating or distracting, particularly if they prefer a quieter and more focused gaming experience

TACTO Chess - Engaging and good for kids to learn chess for the first time

Review from my daughter who had tried regular chess in the past and had given up - now she is playing with me after trying out TACTO Chess - totally worth it :)----Liked the Themes and wanted a few more.Liked talking characters - very engaging.Can be improved - sensitivity of the chess piece interaction with the screen.

Pros
  • Games & Accessories
Cons
  • The 4 modes offered by the app may be confusing and overwhelming for some users, particularly those who are just starting out with chess

Great for kids wanting to learn how to play chess!

My daughter has recently got into playing chess. We got this game for her tablet to help her get better. She loves it so far! It teaches kids how to use every piece and what each piece is. She is having so much fun with the cute themes too. It is such a great way to teach kids how to play chess!

Pros
  • The colorful and vibrant design of Tacto Chess appeals to kids and encourages them to learn and play chess
Cons
  • The Tacto Chess set may not be portable or convenient to carry around, as it requires both the physical components and the app to function

My 6 yo LOVES this (and I'm playing it too!)

My littlest bought a travel chess board at a garage sale and always wants to play it. Trouble is, no one in our house knows how to play chess (and those darn tiny pieces are constantly getting lost.) THIS was a perfect solution to his desire to play AND all of our desire to learn. The iPad app is so well done and so fun; the instructional videos are perfect. I love the storage of the pieces (you don't need all the chess pieces - you have one of each, and the digital chessboard manages the…

Pros
  • Tacto Chess promotes critical thinking, problem-solving and strategic skills among kids and beginners
Cons
  • The app may not be compatible with all devices, particularly older models or those without sufficient storage capacity

Better for younger ages

I got this since my son is interested in Chess , it was cool at first but it’s not fast , it feels like a whole tutorial when playing it. Better for younger learners for all the reminders and talking and pausing it does . My son is 9, does so it just was taking too much time then playing it .

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • Horrible. App does not download so you can't play chess.

Fun game ; Kid approve

My kids absolutely loved playing this game. It combines physical moving pieces with an app.I was looking for a game where my oldest can practice their skills while introducing and teaching those skills to their younger siblings and this is it .You have to download the app onto your iPad . You can create multiple profiles depending on grade, playing experience and difficulty. There are avatars that they can choose to personalize their profile , so we were pleasantly pleased to see a brown…

Pros
  • My son is learning chess and this was a good gift for him. He was excited to use it.
Cons
  • THIS GAME DOES NOT SUPPORT 8HD AS ADVERTISED!!

Trendy way to play chess

Its superb new way to play chess altogether. worth the money no doubt. Its interactive and guide beginners how to play and what can move and when. It's a new trendy way for kids to learn chess.

Pros
  • With four different modes, including story mode and puzzle mode, Tacto Chess keeps players engaged and entertained for hours
Cons
  • The set may be seen as too expensive for what it offers, particularly when compared to more traditional and simple chess sets

Really cool way to learn chess!

If you have a kid interested in chess an don't know where to start I'd start with this App/Game. It's very easy to use and it was easy for my 11 year old son to pick up on. The interactive game play makes it fun and it's something that is challenging for his mind too!

Pros
  • Board Games
Cons
  • The set may not offer the same tactile experience as a traditional chess set, as the pieces are made from plastic and lack the weight and heft of more traditional materials

Really terrible good for me

Very difficult to use, took us 15 minutes to make 5 moves in chess. The app is just terrible. Chess pieces are cute and quality but not with the price. Do not buy

Pros
  • For AGES 6 and up, the game boosts strategic thinking and problem solving skills. It helps children focus and builds attention span.
Cons
  • The Tacto Chess set may be too advanced for very young children, as it requires some critical thinking skills that may be beyond their reach
