Deluxe Wooden 3-in-1 Chess, Backgammon & Checker Set

I gotta say that right out of the box, this is a pretty nice little game set. Some people reviewed it poorly, but you get what you pay for. I have seen much cheaper sets, for not much less, I have also seen this EXACT SAME set retailing elsewhere for almost twice the price! So I certainly don't think this is worth $70 or $80, but it is definitely worth the $33 I paid. I like that it comes with so many games, instead of just 4 or 5. At least for the money, you are getting a fair variety. As other reviewers said, yes it is unfortunate that it does not come with printed instructions for the games, that would be nice. But, it is not a seller or Amazon issue. I did my research. This set does not come with instructions no matter where you get it from. That is just the way they packaged it. Doesn't matter if you buy it from Amazon, Target, Toys-R-Us or Kohls, no instructions. Life goes on. Just Google how to play each game individually. I actually like the design of storage for the set, it is very appropriate. Mine came with all the pieces, dice, etc., and I don't think the pieces are too small. In fact, my husband bought a $15 set that he promptly returned because the chess pieces were ridiculously cheap and puny. The chess pieces of this set are actually of a reasonable size, so he likes it, and we are keeping it. The dominoes.... okay, those are kind of a joke. But again, the whole set is $30 bucks, so don't expect a whole lot. I actually love that this set is similar to one my mom had as a display set when I was a kid. I loved it. I remember when my brother and sister and I were bored, we would just sit down, take the top off and pull out the pieces to whatever we wanted to play. It's actually a wonder we never lost any of the pieces. This set is just like a walk down memory lane, this is nice enough to actually display on a coffee table, without being so nice that you don't want the kids to touch it. We are happy letting ours learn all the games and play them together as a family. So me personally, I love the set. It is exactly what i'd expect for the price. Good size, good variety, good quality, and good bargain. If you found my review at all helpful, it'd be wicked cool if you'd tap the "yes" button below. Thanks!
