My daughter got a mini/party favor checker board and seemed to enjoy as we played it and she learned the rules of checkers.
I ordered this right after we played with the mini board. The size is perfect! We sit on the floor at the bottom edge of the bed (or wherever) and play. I think she has a better overall view of the board due to the size. I see her poring over the board/rug and considering her next move while clearly seeing the entire area of play.
The size also makes it easier for other family members (brother and mommy) to sit around and see what's happening while they wait for their turn.
The rug and pieces are rugged and will likely last for years. It comes with a sealable plastic bag to hold the rug and pieces.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED... and I will likely purchase again as a gift for others.

For some reason, finding a decent quality checkers game board is a little bit of a challenge. However, for a family with children, this one is great.

The "board" itself is a rug-type material as described on the item's page. It is durable and large. The checker pieces are also good size and seem sturdy.

This game is easy to roll up and place out of the way in our living room. It also came with a good, sturdy plastic bag inside which you can store the "board" and the pieces of you so choose.

When we want to play, we just unroll it (or take it out of the bag) and get started - it's that easy! If you are nostalgic for those days from your childhood where you played games on the floor with your siblings or parents, then this game might bring back some of those memories.

It is attractive, well-made and easy to store. Checkers itself is somewhat of a simple game, but great fun for kids or kids-at-heart!
