I use to purchase cardboard checker games for my classroom, but found I had to replace them year after year. We've had this set for the past two years, and it looks almost new. My students gravitate to this game and have tournaments at lunch time. Truly a high quality checker set that would make a nice gift as well

After seeing lots of "junk" checkers games in the local stores I was very pleased to find this quality board. I love that the pieces store on the sides in little slots.
The board could also be used for chess if you purchased chess pieces. With this quality, the board can be passed down for a generation or two. I plan to contact the maker to see if additional pieces are available in case we do lose some.

Well made, good colors will alleviate eye strain during games. Best looking checker set I have ever seen. I sprayed my pieces and board with Satin Varathane for additional wear protection. Get the book, "Win at Checkers" by Millard Hopper (publ by Dover Press) for strategy tips.
