Family Classics Checkers -- With Folding Board and Interlocking Checkers by Pressman

Is it as heavyweight as the boards those of us in our thirties, forties and beyond had as kids...No. But I don't find the set to be as cheesy as a number of reviewers complained. One reviewer mentioned that the checker pieces were so lightweight, they were easily knocked out of place. That wasn't my experience. I handled the set and the checkers and board are definitely lighter than back in the day but not to the point of hindering play, in my opinion. My stepdad and stepsister like to compete and they had a great time with this set. I got it for under 8 bucks and I am satisfied. I love reading Amazon reviews but this was one instance where I wish I hadn't. I struggled with the decision to purchase based on the negative reviews. Not because of the price. I was worried about the quality. I had planned to host a large dinner party for Thanksgiving and we wanted to play some classic games like Uno, Checkers, Rummy, and Pitty Pat after dinner. I didn't want a flimsy board that wouldn't lay flat and featherweight checker peices to offer my guests. I ended up schlepping to multiple Walmarts in my area in search of a standard black and red set -- which none of them had. Had to be black and red (for nostalgia) and Walmart in my area only had the black and tan wood sets, the glass sets, or the magnetic travel set with the tiny board. Could have saved myself the hassle and just ordered this.

A true classic! Chips didn't stack all that well and the board is thin and not as sturdy as they once were. There is only my wife and myself that have played this game and enjoyed it regardless. If you have children or intend to play a game with numerous couples I would not suggest this particular set but maybe something that is a bit sturdier! With only my wife and I using this set it was perfect for us and just are very careful when playing and storing it so that it will last. It has definitely met our needs!

My family and I had a fun time playing checkers while vacationing at our cabin -- the perfect activity to stave off boredom. This checkers set is a simple, no-frills board game set that is exactly as described and comes with a board, 24 checkers pieces and instructions. The product itself is not of the highest quality, but you get what you pay for. This checkers set would be perfect for traveling or family outings since it's lightweight and can be easily replaced if lost or broken.

This is the game I remember as a child. It is made quite a bit cheaper though. The board is flimsy, and we have glued it to a sturdy piece of cardboard. We will not be able to fold it and put it back in box, but at least it should last longer. What has happened to quality these days? After purchasing this game in a tin box from Walmart, which was such ridiculous terrible quality, I took it back immediately. I was pleased to have found this one online. This game cost less than Walmarts, and was free shipping. It arrived quickly. I would order from this company again. It's just too bad Pressman has reduced it's quality.

I purchased a few of these along with several other games and cards as a gift to an assisted living facility that was in isolated lockdown over the COVID-19. They were thrilled to receive the packages. This was allowing staff to go play games with residents their rooms. There were games going on in several rooms at a time helping residents to feel active and not be alone.

My purpose for purchasing this game was to teach my 7-year-old grandbaby how to play checkers. I didn't want to get an expensive board game if she didn't like the game. This was just "okay". The board is very thin and flimsy. When we slide our checkers across the fold line, they always catch on the fold and want to flip right off the board. It looks like the board could easily rip in half. The checkers seem like they are made from thin, cheap plastic. When I first received this in the mail, the checkers were making so much noise inside the box, it sounded like broken glass. ( no, none were broken). As it turns out, my grandbaby is quite good at this game and enjoys it. I appreciate her strategy moves and can see her analyzing each possible move. No poker face there. Not yet anyway. I probably would not recommend this checker board game to anyone looking to impress someone. It doesn't look like it will last very long. But it has given us some enjoyable hours together that doesn't involve TV or other electronics. Would I buy this particular set again?....no. Next time, I will look for a more durable set.

Great item

What a great way to introduce kids to the timeless, classic game of checkers! This is one of those family staples of games that every home should have ready to play at any time. As a matter of fact, I had the same one as a kid! Plastic pieces and cardboard folding board are all you need to play this basic game of strategy & fun.

Ordered this thinking it would be better quality since it's described as "classic". The board is not straight and the pieces are very light and don't stay stacked properly. After every move with a "king" they fall over- especially when used by a child. Not high quality but still a fun game. The storage box is also very thin and flimsy.

Checkers a bit small but adequate for a child

El tablero viene de buen tamaño y espesor Y las fichas si son de plástico no de cartón. Excelente
