Toys and Games Reviews of Super Mario Chess
Customer Review: A Bridge Between Video Gamers and Board Gamers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my 17yo cousin. He is a huge fan of the Mario universe, but rarely played chess. I feared the chess aspect might turn him off to the gift, but he absolutely loved it!
During my visit, he begged for challengers from both his siblings, his parents, and myself. I played two games with him, and his father requested that he take my place for regular games with his son when I'm gone. This is a first for these two, to my knowledge, and I'm excited that they could find something in common to enjoy together!
The rubber pieces themselves are very cute and easy-to-stand in their positions on the board. The only placement issues come from when you have two large pieces next to each other, impending in each other's space slightly. My cousin and I solved this dilemma by doing a little role-play mini-battle until one of them moved--think Princess Peach and Birda having a slapping contest. It was very silly, but added an element of fun that chess normally lacked.
Minor issues: My cousin did note that they painted Bowser incorrectly, having Luigi as the Queen piece while Princess Daisy and Princess Peach were bishops was initially confusing, and we both struggled at first with getting the coin pawn pieces back into their correct positions in the plastic storing case.
However, the minor issues were very minor, and overall we loved this game!
