Add more fun to family times with chess and checkers sets. Both are traditional favorites that promise to provide hours of entertainment for beginners, casual gamers, and high-level strategists. The boards are the same and you can purchase pieces separately, especially if you're a collector of themed sets. Choose convenient sizes for travel or larger surfaces that are beautiful enough for display.

Variety of games in one place,& it makes a beautiful coffee table conversation piece. My husband and I plan to make good use of this Game board, during the evening esp. wintertime.

This is a lovely heavily weighted set made of pleasing colors and nicely styled Staunton pieces.
I was disappointed that two extra Queens were not part of the set and I was unable to find out if I could buy two Queens separately. I have also noticed that the Knights appear to be too big in relation to the other pieces. The Knights are bigger than the Rooks and look out of place on the board.
The set is durable, I have dropped pieces on hard surfaces and the pieces showed no damage.
I recommend this set but take into consideration my comments regarding extra Queens and huge Knights.

I useproduct to solve chess problems and to learn the game. The pieces are pleasant to move. Perhaps the "board" itself could be a little heavier, but I am not complaining. It stays in place and is fine for my purpose.

Have wanted a Civil War Chess Set for years.
Finally found one I liked but some of the
pieces were broken. I looked at other Civil
War sets but really liked the construction of the
original set, made by Cambor. Took me awhile to
locate one exactly like the original.
Hope to enjoy my new Cambor setfor many years to come.

The Kids in after school care enjoy the use of this board not so much for checkers but for chess (which I provide the chess pieces). They love it.
