    Our grandson is on the spectrum and was ready to celebrate his 10th birthday. He found an old plastic chess set (no board) at our house over day and asked if he could have it. He loved the different shapes and over the next months developed an obsession with chess. He had no idea how to play he just loved it. I had seen this game and thought, if nothing else, it would be entertaining. It is and over the past week he and I have learned to play chess. We didn't need to play each of the mini games repeatedly as instructed , he's 10, I'm 69, so we caught on pretty quickly but we love it. I have to say, I'm impressed with the quality of the game from the board, to the plastic pieces, to the cardboard punch out characters, to the colorful book of stories and instructions, it's all top notch.Are the stories juvenile? Yes they are. They are silly but who doesn't like being silly once in a while? We read them and laugh and even though we know how the pieces move, we still read one of the stores before we play the first game of the day. My daughter sent me this picture of my grandson reading the stories this morning before school.I HIGHLY recommend this for any child, any age, who shows an interest in chess or a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle who wants to get a child interested in the game. It's so much fun!

    I got this for my five year olds birthday, and it's been awesome. Shes been talking about wanting chess for a number of months (I blame Bluey for this), and I knew teaching her was gonna be a time. I saw this on Tik Tok one day and was like screw it, let's go. 10/10 best choice, I got it on sale but would have no problems paying full price for it.

    First off, the board and pieces are BIG. This is great for little hands and kids who haven't necessarily developed great spacial awareness. The learning side of the board even have pictures to tell you what piece goes where, which is adorable and extremely helpful. There are little cardboard cut outs that have the characters on one side and the piece that they are on the other. They're very durable and very cute. The story itself is also cute. But the best thing I think is the minigames and the catch phrases. For every piece there's a little thing to say for them (for instance the Knights it's gallop gallop step to the side). This has been SO helpful in reminding my kid what each piece does.

    I can't speak highly enough about this, I will definitely be getting the level 2 and 3 boxes when my kid hits that level and understanding!

    Out of the box, one of the pawns didn’t have a slot. Super glue doesn’t work because it’s handled by children. Emailed their support to no avail.

    Anyway, amazing game and my 3yo loves the cute stories and have learned the fundamentals of chess piece movements. It’ll honestly be a long time before we play an actual game, so in the meantime, we have a knight each, and are racing across the board to see who collects the most pizza first. Gallop, gallop, move to the side!
