The new pieces add a bit of nice variation to the game. My only wish were that the new pieces could come onto the board in pairs for any given new piece, rather than as singletons.

My kiddo loves it. Would have been nice if there was a travel bag option.

Likes:1. High-quality pieces.2. Information for the extra pieces is concise, yet easy to understand.Dislike: The box, even though well-made, is a tad tight -- it's hard to get the board out!

Our grandson loved this new chess challenge! He loves 2700 miles away and he opened the game during a Face Time call. He explained each of 14 new characters. We discussed each name and voiced our opinion as to how they chose the names. When he played the game, we received a video from our daughter in love! Highly recommend it!Diane Jablonski

I love Chess Variants and this one is fascinating. Can't wait to play it some more. Will return to update with details. I know you're waiting on the edge of your seat. :)

It's hard find chess variat sets that don't cost a lot. This set is well put together for it's price. Love the flash cards to help learn the new pieces, even if you don't play with the extra pieces it would be a great tracing tool for beginners to learn standard chess.The quilting of the board is fine, its not the harvest or thinkers I've seen but I'm really happy with it for the price.The pieces are w little on the light side if your used to playing with a better set. But again for the price they are good enough, and it's not to hard to add weight if you really wanted to.With the specialty pieces there is a nice mix of new pawn, minor, and major pieces to have some unique game matches. I do wish the pieces did stand out better since some of pawn style pieces can be easily mixed up if you don't rotate them right.All in all love the set.

This is a surprisingly good set! It was a gift for my son who is new to chess. I really like the learning cards it came with too. Nicely made and sturdy all around. I also like the additional game play options as well.Well thought out set and great for all levels of play.(Honest opinion, not compensated in any way)

It's a very nice game for the family.. unlike chess where everything is played by the book, this game is purely strategic

This is a nicely done commercial chess variant. It's nicely put together in a that Art Nouveau style you are from the early 20th century. It's pretty. Boxes are a little tight though.The king is 2 tall with a 1 diameter base.The pieces are single weighted with felt on the bottom. They have a nice feel for all that they're light.You can play regular chess with the pieces, or build an army using a mix of fairy and regular pieces.For all that I like it, I've got two suggestions: offer some pre-calculated armies with complimentary pieces; sell the fairy pieces as well or double the quantity of low and middle value pieces. Heck, I'm willing to buy another set just to make that happen.Worth the money for all that my daughter beat me like a drum with it.Edit: Bought a second set for additional pieces. Still getting beaten like a drum. May put together some armies.

This is a thinking game, but a lot of fun. It is chess with a new and interesting twist by adding new pieces with different movement abilities. On a side note, there was a problem with my set. The company was very responsive and made it right almost immediately, which was much appreciated as my family was excited to try this game. Overall, a lot of fun and highly recommended!

A fun twist on chess for a few board game nerds. Don't think it will become a family tradition but makes for a fun night.

I absolutely love this version of chess!! I've seen a few variations out there, that only has one or two new pieces. But this is on another level!! I definitely recommend learning the pieces one or two at a time, instead of jumping in the deep end with all of them, lol. For the price, I was supremely impressed with the quality of the packaging and the product. Yes, the pieces are plastic, but the cards, instructions, and everything was above and beyond. And the two piece bags were a huge bonus for me. The cards describing each piece is a wonderful idea for new and experienced players, giving detailed information about classic and faerie chess pieces. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase, and would recommend anyone to give it a try.

Bought this as a present for my chess-obsessed son. He was thrilled to have the alternate pieces and play options of this board. It was a fun challenge for him to learn the new pieces. The set is high quality and I believe it will last through many matches.
