Family Classics Checkers -- With Folding Board and Interlocking Checkers by Pressman

Is it as heavyweight as the boards those of us in our thirties, forties and beyond had as kids...No. But I don't find the set to be as cheesy as a number of reviewers complained. One reviewer mentioned that the checker pieces were so lightweight, they were easily knocked out of place. That wasn't my experience. I handled the set and the checkers and board are definitely lighter than back in the day but not to the point of hindering play, in my opinion. My stepdad and stepsister like to compete and they had a great time with this set. I got it for under 8 bucks and I am satisfied. I love reading Amazon reviews but this was one instance where I wish I hadn't. I struggled with the decision to purchase based on the negative reviews. Not because of the price. I was worried about the quality. I had planned to host a large dinner party for Thanksgiving and we wanted to play some classic games like Uno, Checkers, Rummy, and Pitty Pat after dinner. I didn't want a flimsy board that wouldn't lay flat and featherweight checker peices to offer my guests. I ended up schlepping to multiple Walmarts in my area in search of a standard black and red set -- which none of them had. Had to be black and red (for nostalgia) and Walmart in my area only had the black and tan wood sets, the glass sets, or the magnetic travel set with the tiny board. Could have saved myself the hassle and just ordered this.

My family and I had a fun time playing checkers while vacationing at our cabin -- the perfect activity to stave off boredom. This checkers set is a simple, no-frills board game set that is exactly as described and comes with a board, 24 checkers pieces and instructions. The product itself is not of the highest quality, but you get what you pay for. This checkers set would be perfect for traveling or family outings since it's lightweight and can be easily replaced if lost or broken.

We bought this to play with our 5 year old. It arrived very quickly! It was brand new and included everything that it described. we are having a blast playing it. Of course I feel very comfortable in saying that I would highly recommend using this particular seller and of course buying the product to anyone who is looking for the same or a similar item. It was an excellent buying experience all the way around and I would of course purchase the product again from the same seller because we are very happy with it all in all. Thank you for taking the time to read this review and please feel free to ask me any and all questions that are related to this particular product. It arrived very quickly as promised.

Great classic game. We purchased these for Girl Scout camping trips. The game is definitely lower quality than some that we've had in the past but it gets the job done and I don't have to worry about an expensive game being destroyed or lost. I do wish the box was a little tougher and it's thinner than gift boxes for clothing and easily gets smashed.

A true classic! Chips didn't stack all that well and the board is thin and not as sturdy as they once were. There is only my wife and myself that have played this game and enjoyed it regardless. If you have children or intend to play a game with numerous couples I would not suggest this particular set but maybe something that is a bit sturdier! With only my wife and I using this set it was perfect for us and just are very careful when playing and storing it so that it will last. It has definitely met our needs!

My purpose for purchasing this game was to teach my 7-year-old grandbaby how to play checkers. I didn't want to get an expensive board game if she didn't like the game. This was just "okay". The board is very thin and flimsy. When we slide our checkers across the fold line, they always catch on the fold and want to flip right off the board. It looks like the board could easily rip in half. The checkers seem like they are made from thin, cheap plastic. When I first received this in the mail, the checkers were making so much noise inside the box, it sounded like broken glass. ( no, none were broken). As it turns out, my grandbaby is quite good at this game and enjoys it. I appreciate her strategy moves and can see her analyzing each possible move. No poker face there. Not yet anyway. I probably would not recommend this checker board game to anyone looking to impress someone. It doesn't look like it will last very long. But it has given us some enjoyable hours together that doesn't involve TV or other electronics. Would I buy this particular set again?....no. Next time, I will look for a more durable set.

We of course loved this game as kids. Got it for our 7 & 5 year olds. The quality of the board isn't fantastic but it works & they/we play it over & over again!! Save it for when weather is bad!!

Great item

For the price, better quality then expected

Ordered this thinking it would be better quality since it's described as "classic". The board is not straight and the pieces are very light and don't stay stacked properly. After every move with a "king" they fall over- especially when used by a child. Not high quality but still a fun game. The storage box is also very thin and flimsy.

El tablero viene de buen tamaño y espesor Y las fichas si son de plástico no de cartón. Excelente

Checkers a bit small but adequate for a child
