I've probably finished it at least 100 times.
dw, the sequel is coming out soon.
for a few bucks more they sell one in a wooden folding case. i'd recommend that one over this
Do you have a link? Can't immediately find it.
i couldnt either, maybe it got discontinued. i bought it about a year ago instore. this one isnt too bad and contains other games too, not folding, but the board does double as a case

edit: this was the one but i paid way less last year, like about $12. i would go the one linked above over this due to the price difference

After some more browsing I ended up going for this one https://www.kmart.com.au/product/deluxe-game-house-42490098/, also on clearance.
@End3vour: I got this for a client (support worker) and he loves it. Great value with how many games are in it. The only critique is its made of mdf/chipboard so its easily damaged and definitely dont want to get it wet.
@End3vour: Looks like a good set. Unlucky I can't cancel my order lol. Guess will have to return to the store.
Checking it now mate
Check mate!
$4 at my local
Can't wait for the DLC
Plenty of DLC for this one, from blitz chess (for the speedrunners) to Casablanca chess (for those who hate memorising opening books).
Is it pay to win?
Can I wear jeans while playing this?
As long as they aren't Bluetooth. ;-)
If you've got stock available at a local, might want to try pick it up in-store. This scanned for $4 at my local Kmart just a couple of days back.
Remember to use up all catch.com.au credit/gift cards . They being shut down.
reckon catch would have some last minute sales to clear stock?
It's likely, though they sell a lot of 3rd party products so not sure how much stock would actully be "Catch" inventory. A lot will probably just get pushed toward extra stock over the next few months for Kmart/Target/Myer before they have a closing down Sale closer to April.
I have this.
Definitely you will notice that corners have been cut, the pieces are not all perfectly identically shaped (like the pawns for example). All cheap wood covered in resin.
In the end, can't complain for the price. It's a cheap wooden chess set (with checkers but who plays that)
(Checker players)
Unless you are prepared to pay $$$, never bother with wooden pieces. They are unpleasant chessmen to play with, particularly if they are unweighted, such as here.
The problem are always the knights, which cannot simply be knocked out on a lathe. Crafting knights is something that takes years to learn:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WJoR9QH12k
If your kid is wanting to play seriously, they may as well get used to standard competition resin pieces.
It's a chess set. You can play chess with it. For $8 I wouldn't expect much more. For someone that has no better option it's great.
Great game
