Pressman Chess / Checkers / Backgammon - 3 Games in One with Full Size Staunton Chess Pieces and Interlocking Checkers, 15.62 x 8.00 x 1.50 Inches

perfect for camper

The chess/checkers/ backgammon set is exactly as pictured and described. The box and game board are very thin cardboard and not thick and sturdy as expected.

I'm a huge checkers fan. With this board I can play checkers, chess, and my new invention "Checker chess." (In Checker Chess, you play just like Chess, but the object of the game is to steal all of your opponents pieces, not just the king. The game doesn't end with capture of the king, only capture of all your opponent's pieces. And if you use the Queen the whole time you're a bore.)

plastic pieces, not much to the set but it works perfect, very affordable and lots of fun. Happy with purchase

I hope this review will be informative, I have both positive and negative feedback on this product :Box: 1/5: The the top of the box appears to be made of 1/32" single walled cardboard, thin but the corrugation gives it much needed strength. the bottom of the box however is made of what I approximate to be between 24 and 30pt cardstock (~.7mm thick) about the same as most cereal boxes, and not adequate for a box of its size or fill level to give much if any protection to its contents. I would not recommend leaving it in its standard box if you plan to use it as a travel set.Board 2/5:, The board is usable, but is rather flimsy at roughly 1/16" (1.5mm) thick, mine came with a white creased bend along one edge where the box was lightly crushed during shipping(see picture). I would not say it lives up to the "durable" descriptor on the box.Chess pieces 4/5: hollow, injection molded plastic and therefore Light, flashing on sides is very minimal, but a few of the pieces have larger bits of flashing on the bottom, most of it comes of easily, but the bottom edges that will require a bit of deburring or sanding before the base will lay flush with the board. they are shaped well though and there are no visible shrinkage or deformation of the pieces.Checkers 4/5: pieces look great. only one had a bit of flashing but it came off easily with a fingernail. that said grooves on top are not good deep enough to get good engagement when kinged.Dice 4/5: both are very good and roll fine. there is only the slightest of residual paint haze from the pips on the a few of the faces, could be due to an inadequate wipe on the cleanup after printing, could just be a slightly porous surface.Overall 3/5: At the price point, I wasn't expecting it to be the best combination chess/checkers & backgammon set ever, but I felt I set my expectation appropriately and was underwhelmed. a stronger box would better keep the lightweight board protected, though a heavier-duty board would also be preferred.I Wish I had looked at the reviews more closely before purchasing, I would have probably bought a different set.

Pretty much Like I remember but . . . . .. the cardboard is a bit thinner and the chess and checker pieces are made out of a thinner plastic then they were made with back in the 80's. Like they say, "They don't make things like they use to." But even with that said it is still a good deal. All 3 games in one. And You can't put a Price Tag on Memories. It is PRICELESS. Back in the day I don't know if you could get all 3 games together. I do know that you could get them separate because I remember helping the Park Rec Coach tape the boxes back when i was a L.I.T. [Leader In Training]. When I was a Kid and just remember going to the Local Rec Park and playing, A LOT as well. We were poor and never got one of our own. I don't know if this is the same brand of way back when but it sure does look like it. Nor do I know the price of back then. Oh and the Box is also made of a thinner cardboard as well. But it all good. This is our 2nd one like this because of moving and other people not respecting other ppls things. But we will enjoy this one with care just as much as we enjoyed the other one. The Memories with this Brand New set have already began. hehehe. My 2 youngest Boys that are still home are ages 10-1/2 and 9. This is a total Classic but still winning and filling Our Hearts. <3

I got this for my best friend's dad who's aging along with crossword books. I grew up on board games and think it's a great idea to teach our younger generation as well as play with our older generation to keep our minds sharp. I love Checkers and Backgammon but have no clue about Chess lol

granddaughter loves the games
