Summary: chinese checkers
Comment: i prefer this set to the cheaper ones because the recesses are deeper and spaced further apart so when you move a marble, the others aren't dislodged.
plus, it's got a cool, antique look to it -- looks like you inherited it from a grandparent.
definitely worth the extra money.

Summary: Just what I was looking for
Comment: 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.

Summary: Defective board
Comment: This is a nice looking board, but the one I got was defective: the wells for the marbles are not drilled in straight lines. Because of this, you can't tell where you're supposed to be able to move! The game is not usable.

Summary: Quality product, good packaging
Comment: This gameboard has very nice quality construction, traditional heavy glass marbles, and a classic draw-string pouch for marble storage. The only minor complaints are storage and coloring. The game comes shrink-wrapped in the shipping box, so there's no good way to store it except to hang it on the wall (slot in back of board provided for this purpose). The marble bag would then hang from the hanging board. A little inconvenient for my house where wall space is a premium. The only other minor distraction is the color of the marbles. They are beautiful marbles, but it is very difficult to distinguish between a few of the colors while playing. We have requisitioned brightly colored plastic marbles from another CC game and use them when more than three people are playing. Other than that, this product is great and we are very happy with the purchase.
