Product Description
The object of Checkers is to capture and remove all of an opponent's checkers from the game board. To remove a checker, a player must jump that checker in a forward diagonal direction and must land in a square that is vacant. Move your checker all the way across the board to have it king'd. Then your king checker can jump diagonally forward or backwards! Use your royal might to win! To win Tic Tac Toe, simply get 3 in a row horizontally, diagonally or vertically! Sturdy 11-1/4square game board designed for years of play! Includes solid wood Checker pieces, too. For 2 players.Cardinal Solid Wood Checkers Review
If you're looking for a set to play checkers (and/or tic-tac-toe), this set will probably fit the bill just fine. The gameboard and checkers themselves are solid wood, and you could probably use the gameboard as a cutting board if you grew tired of the game -- it's that thick and strong. It's currently at a nice price, too.Some cons about this set: the included instructions are not very detailed, about one paragraph long, so hopefully you already know how to play the game. (For what it's worth, it contain several typos, too.) Clearly the company didn't invest a lot of effort in the instructions.
The checkers have an embossed pattern on one side, but in my set, one of the checkers wasn't embossed. It's not a big deal, but I think shows some lack of quality control on the part of the manufacterer.
One more thing to throw out: the gameboard smells like -- and I am not making this up -- barbecue. Maybe it's made of mesquite or something. It's a fairly strong scent, pretty much detectible the whole time while playing the game. It's not a bad smell. Who knows, it might even be a selling point if you like barbecue.
