There are two extra queens of each color to help you deal with pawns that have evolved. The magnets are strong enough to hold the pieces in place during play.

The board is actual wood - i think a thin laminate, but still better than plastic. Each piece has a place in the foam insert to keep them from rattling around.

The checkers pieces don't fit well inside and can cause a bump when using the board. Very cheaply made and glued together for the price.

The instructions are clear and it's great for everyone from kids to adults. The rules are a little tougher for a child since there are some subtle descriptions that they might not understand.

This game is one that we all enjoy, is easiest to learn, everybody seems to have a turn to win. It's challenging and can provide lots of laughs. In my family, it always leads to a bu ch of laughs over silly answers.

This is the cheapest set i've ever seen of the game. Boooooo, they need a deluxe version. The game is the same, the quality *.

Answer sheet holder is cardboard. Privacy boards are flimsy.
