“A reasonably sized board and priced for beginners but its pieces are quite roughly crafted, the board had two chips in it and the grooved board detail shown in the photo was missing. Is a marketing triumph trick? for Jaques who seem to be repackaging and upselling a cheapish product by putting it in a nice wrapping with a ribbon and a supposedly handsigned slip saying it was packed by name, which on closer inspection was actually printed. My packer clearly didnt notice she was sending out a damaged item! I returned my purchase and bought this exact set at Smyths for 30 less, complete with the board detail seen in the photo.”

“Well made and a good solid construction. The board enables the pieces to be stored within the case. But I leave the board set up at all times on the table.”

“Felt let down by the product as when playing the board does not lay flat. The centre rises slightly making the pieces not able to sit correctly on the space. Otherwise a good travel set, nice looking.”
