I have my original game board from the 60's. This one I ordered for my Grandson to have because he likes playing it.. The holes are TOO SMALL! The marbles keep falling out when you try and make a play because your fingers bump the marbles next to the one you are moving! Please make the board bigger and user friendly! I would pay a little more for it to have one like the original..My old board used regular sized marbles...These use pea size!

Chinese checkers is a fun way to teach strategy to kids. This tin version is quite durable.

Please note: the marbles that come with this version are SMALL: less than half the size of a regular marble.

So if you want regular sized marbles, go with the wooden versions that Amazon sells.

And if you don't want the marbles falling off check out the version that uses pegs.

This review is from: Tin Chinese Checkers (Toy)

I was disappointed with the quality. The exterior was tin, which looked durable, but once you open it, you get plastic balls that don't hold well in the holes. The balls are too light, so they're constantly being knocked over when you make a move. And, like another reviewer noted, maybe it would help if the holes were bigger so that the ball could sit more securely. I remember when I was young, about 30 years ago, we used marbles. I think the weight of the marbles just sit better.
