Chinese checkers is a great game for teaching strategic thinking. I ordered this one for our family thinking that solid wood would be a pleasant tactile experience. I don't really like plastic. Imagine my disappointment when I find, yes, a solid wood playing board, but a jumble of cheap little plastic checkers. Brightly colored, yes. Wood, no. Ick. I had a version that used marbles when I was a kid and I may try to find some marbles to use with this board. As for durability, the board will last forever, but the pieces didn't come with a bag (bring your own Ziploc) and the box is very cheap and will fall apart after a few uses, making it necessary to figure out a way to keep the pieces with the board. I thought we were getting a good value when I read the description, but I recommend looking a little further for a higher quality product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke in half after one drop, May 1, 2005

One of my kids dropped it one time and the thing broke in half. We were disappointed. The board is made up of multiple pieces of wood glued together, and I guess the glue was weak in one spot.

When our grandchildren come to our house, they love to play this game which I have owned for many years. I often take it with me when I visit out-of-town grands because it's so popular. The wooden version is particularly pleasing and holds up well. Pieces are easy to find when dropped. I am thrilled to find that this excellent quality set is still available.
