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

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

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.

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!!

Great quality!!! Love the characters.

Now that my children have gotten used to a starter chess set, we have taken it to the "next level" with this cute Mario Chess set, given to them for Christmas. It's so cute and well-made. The only downside is: I wish they somehow indicated which pieces are Bishops v. Knights. They are easy to mix up, but probably easier to remember with lots of play time.

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.

My boys loved it!

I bought this several years ago (2010 actually, according to Amazon!) so I feel I can speak to the quality of the product at this point. It's held up very well, with no pieces breaking or fading. Assuming you aren't giving this to a young child to drool, stab and otherwise abuse I don't see why it wouldn't last forever (and even then it still might, there are just no promises). The board feels like a standard chess board, not exceptionally strong (so if you have a kid who enjoys throwing things you might do well to have it laminated).The board (quartered) and all pieces come in a metal box (pictured). My only minor complaint is that the pieces are housed in cheap black plastic that feels a little flimsy (though that's hardly a huge deal if you're careful).The pieces themselves are well painted, with obvious attention paid to the small details (i.e., Bowser's spikes). The colors are vibrant (as any Mario themed item should be!). The set could easily be a display piece (my husband collects Mario products so that's what we've done with it). Mario and Bowser are the king pieces on their respective teams, while Luigi and Bowser Jr. serve as the queens (no, I don't understand why either).Overall I'd highly recommend this to any Mario fan who might want to learn how to play chess. Or perhaps someone extra competitive who wants to stab their opponent in the eye with their king piece (Bowser is certainly capable of this).
