Super Mario Chess Set | 32 Custom Sculpt Chess Pieces Including Iconic Characters - Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser | Super Mario Themed Chess Game

When I bought this game for my 8 tear old son's birthday, I had originally been looking for a Mario Bros. figurines set. I couldn't find anything close to what I wanted - the figurines were very small and the sets were very expensive. That's when I saw this chess set and I was impressed by the characters it included and the size of the pieces. I should also mention that my son HATES board games (much to my dismay!) - so I hesitated on giving him a chess board as a gift. BUT - it turned out to be his absolute favorite gift! He loves playing with the pieces - which are very durable, good sized, and have wonderful detail, and Mom likes that he's using his imagination. In addition, by the second day he had it, he was wanting to learn to play chess and has played every day since! This was worth every penny!!

We love this chess set! Honestly all the people in my house hold both large and small are geeks of one kind or another. We all game (except for the newborn of course) and we all love Super Mario Brothers. It is wonderful to go from a screen love to having a game that we can touch. We homeschool and so chess is a logical game great for learning. It is a bonus that these pieces are very well made, as is the board. It is a little more costly than most games but I have also purchased this game as a gift so I check back on it often looking for a good low price. One of the added bonuses to using a chess set like this is it helps kids memorize what characters serve what job on the board. I admit to having to ask my kids to remind me sometimes, they caught on to the piece movements for this set faster than I did. I think this game if kept intact could last many many years. I know my husband would love to play this with me and the kids in our golden years and I can so see that happening!

Ooh my!!! The little guy who I bought this for just learned chess in school! So chess and Mario=SHEER JOY!! HIS FACE LIT UP SO BIG WHEN HE OPENED HIS PRESENT AND HE LITERALLY SQUEALED!!And he played with almost everybody who attended the party for hours!! LoL It was worth every penny The quality is great! I thought about other chess sets like the minions which was nice quality too but they were Just two colors. Where is these are a lot more interesting the children because they're painted like the actual figure!! I wish I had a chest that like this when I was growing up!!

My grandson is just learning to play chess. So, this is the perfect means to keep his interest/focus on the game since he loves the Mario Bros characters.

Grandson love this Mario Chess Set. Each character is uniquely detailed and the paint is very vibrant. Love that the storage box is tin. Well worth the money, this set will last for years and years to come.

This set is really cool and the figures are really well made. Careful of the packaging though it comes in a tin which dents easily. Mine came dented but it wasn't bad enough to warrant a return as it will actually be used so it will get dented eventually anyways. The part inside that holds the pieces is thin plastic and the board is less premium than I would have preferred but its worked pretty well so far!

Great Product! Great Quality!Our Grandson, age 7 was excited to receive this for his recent birthday m!

My boys loved it!
