Toys and Games Reviews of 3 in 1 Travel Magnetic Chess, Checkers, Backgammon
Customer Review: Met expectations
Summary: 3 Stars
We got this as a gift off the registry. I was looking for a board i could take on road trips.
Pros: 3 games in 1, the size of the board is portable and big enough to be usable, the pieces hold well yet not too firm, so my 5 year old can move them easily. I gave it 5 stars for educational value, though it is not because of this set, but because it is chess and I think it is one of the best games ever invented.
Cons: the board does not lock when folded and opens up easily. So, it is rather cheaply made. I wont be returning it, since I dont want to wait any longer and it is usable.
The board and pieces are plastic, but they are not horrible. Board is laminated with metal, i suspect it might scratch easily, as i see couple small scratches on the inside. Rooks do look a lot like the queen, but they are different enough (shorter, no crown dents), so for me they are ok. My son can tell them apart with no problems. He is 5. So, I think confusion is not an issue here.
Basically, I did not have v. high expectations from the set, but the functionality it is offering is what i was looking for. That is, in terms of size and pieces sticking reasonably well to the board. I have a large hair band around it to keep it locked. :) oh, well. It was [...]$ after all.
I just want to be able play chess everywhere we go.
