I donated this to a local hospital for people there. I heard from the patience (sp) really enjoyed it.

This would have been a great toy, but it only came with one red set of checkers. Not much fun if you ask me!


4 out of 5 stars Checker Challenge!   December 14, 2009

Before I get into the challenge presented by this product, let me say that I am a long-time Checkers fanatic. I was first introduced to this game as a toddler, when I swallowed four checkers and had to have my stomach pumped. This terrifying ordeal forever linked "Checkers" and "I'm no longer hungry" in my psyche. To this day I can always comfort myself by snacking on a few checkermen. Being OCD and paranoid, I need comforting a LOT, so I purchase about 20 of these games a year. I'm an expert, folks.

THIS game offers something found in no other Checkers set. THIS game has a board THAT DOES NOT FOLD. Hah, Mr. Checkers-Game-Maker! You are SO wrong...

While consuming a few Checkermen, I devised my plan. For maximum creasiness, I first took an axe and skillfully thwacked a line down the center of the board. Warning: before you take this step, you should put your pet mouse Fuffikinoodles back in her cage. Ouch! Oh well, I don't have a tail and I get by just fine...

Now that you have a nice deep crease in the middle of the board, it's a snap to fold. YOU'D THINK! BUT YOU'D BE WRONG!! Listen to the expert here.

You want to FOLD your board, not break it in two. So before attempting the fold, cover the board in 4 yards of duct tape. Be sure to cover every inch front and back, with lots and lots of overlay. "What's that lump?". "Where's Fuffikinoodles?". Oops. Like I said, your little pets should be put back in their safe-places first.

Once the board is completely stabilized by the duct tape, NOW you can fold it. Try to fold along the axe crease, and avoid folding directly over any lumps.

VOILA! The challenge has been met. Pat yourself on the back. Then go to the pet store and find another mouse. Eat some checkers before you go - it's a dangerous world out there.



3 out of 5 stars Just a generic Checkers board and pieces game   December 3, 2009

Not much to write about for this product. It's just a generic checkers board. I got this item for my twin brothers' Xmas present last year, and was astounded when it came. And although they haven't opened it yet, I know they will soon. The outer box is a less-sturdy product boxing, but that's not what makes the product, a product. When I received the item, the box had been crushed slightly, which made a crease, so, if anyone decides to buy this item, be careful that this problem isn't one that affects the product boxes.( I don't think so, but be careful.)
