Schylling Tin Chinese Checkers

Great

I loved playing Chinese checkers as a kid so now I am also as an adult and easy to travel with too

The marbles may have been glass at one time, but they are definitely lightweight, molded plastic now. The seams and imperfections add to their inability to stay in the holes and not roll around. The set is so reasonable, just discard the plastic ones and buy a replacement set of glass ones, available on this site for $8-9.00. It has been my experience that children need the board to have printed lines to follow for their moves, as well as a colored area to head toward. The larger, heavier, wooden boards are nice looking, but are significantly more expensive and do not include the necessary lines or designated colored "home" areas. This set includes those two necessities, although only three of the colored area match the colors of the marbles. Overall, it is the most like the original old boards and fine for a new generation to learn how to play this great game of strategies.

Family fun !

Great game for adults and kids I use to play with my Grandmother as a child and still love those memories. I read the negative reviews and thought I could change out the plastic marbles for glass ones and all would be good. Well if you are a child, it could be, but I gave the tin to my grandson and taught him to play, we played a few games, it was difficult even for him because the holes are so tight together "no room for your fingers to pick up the marbles", he is 9 and still was bumping into the marbles. I noticed a scratch in the paint of the board by the time we were done. So my review of the product is just OK. The glass marble replacements for the plastic ones included shipping cost about $10.00. This game board is about 11.5" and the one Grandma had was 12.5 to 13.00". That one inch does make a difference. All in all, with the glass replacement marbles, it is OK for the kids, but to interact with them on this game board, you have to be careful not to bump other marbles while trying to make a move. Also the height is just the marbles height. If they overlap in a bag, the game board doesn't close properly. Shipping and the transaction was very good, but I was hoping for a board like my Grandmothers, this board is smaller and does have plastic marbles.

The tin is very thin and lightweight, and stores easily! The pieces for the Chinese checkers aren’t typical glass marbles, but they could always be replaced if that’s important to you. The most important factor here is the nostalgia value - this was the same set my partner had growing up which made for a great gift!

Very inferior. Plastic marbles don’t stay in the shallow intentions. Do not order this

Yes, yes, yes!!!! I could have sworn after holding this in my hand this product was just like the very one I had in the late 80s. This product included everything depicted. I love the mesh bags. Be careful though if you stack the tin board together. Mine is closed and I can't get it to open again. That's okay though. I think the bags are meant to store the pieces.
