Melissa & Doug Classic Wooden Chinese Checkers Game Board Reviews
This is a very nice board for playing Chinese checkers. It’s attractive. It has a nice wooden feel. The divots for the marbles are the right size and nicely spaced. It has a raised edge around the perimeter, so it is unlikely that wayward marbles will find their way to the floor. Unfortunately, the coloring of the marbles is so faint that it is very difficult to tell the difference between the clear color and the light blue color; very difficult to tell the difference between the green color and yellow color. In practice, this is not likely to be a problem at my house because only two people are likely to play at once, and they can choose colors that contrast adequately. But this seems like a conspicuous error that could be easily fixed, and I can only wonder why the supplier has not corrected it.
When I was growing up, my mom kept a cardboard chinese checkers game under her bed that we played constantly. I had so many good memories of playing it with her, that when the game board got so old she had to throw it away, I knew I wanted to get her a new one. I thought it would be easy to find a nice Chinese Checkers set, but it was not. I looked for the longest time, and all of the games either came with additional game, or they just weren’t a good quality. I finally bought a Chinese Checkers game that looked nice on the box, but the marbles inside were plastic! That just wasn’t good enough for me who as a child was fascinated by the smooth glass marbles. When I found this set at a teacher supply store, I immediately bought it. It’s true that it would be nice to have a box, but we don’t need one, as we store under my mother’s bed anyway. Also, the game board had a nice ding in it, which bothered me at first. I finally decided that it just added to the character, because the board is wooden and has a really beautiful aged appearance. I also agree that the coloring of the marbles can make it kind of confusing, but we just glance through them towards a light, and then it is pretty easy to tell the difference. They really are very beautiful. Another thing that I like is that the game board has a raised edge. No more marbles rolling off the bed. Overall, I am very please with this set. I feel so happy to find just what I was looking for, and my mom was thrilled to get it.
