Purchased this to introduce kids to an inexpensive version of chess, chinese checkers and regular checkers. Pieces are very small and inexpensively made as you might expect but what REALLy annoyed me was having 3 rooks and only 1 bishop on the chess game. All pieces are very small, tend to shift easily and subject to quality control issues that render the game plain annoying. Spend a few more bucks and buy something with the proper pieces.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the marbles aren't solid colors. Instead, they're clear with a wavy piece of color running through them. That makes it very hard to see the color against the various parts of the Chinese Checkers board. Also, the spots for the board are very shallow, so any bump of the board will send the pieces rolling into new spots.

The checkers board is strangely colored and hard on the eyes. The pieces also feel extremely cheap, making it much less pleasant to play on than a separate checkers set you can buy for a few bucks.
