Fun concept. Cheaply made so must take great care. NOT for kids under 10

Playing this is cool. Bowser takes up A LOT of space but that makes him kinda cooler. The names of the pieces are on the bottom so you dont get confused which character does which move. The board is very simple and folds into 4. The pieces come in a molded flimsy plastic casing.

Getting them in and out will wear it down over time and crack and maybe cut your finger. I recommend throwing them both away and having the pieces loose in the tin case it comes in with the board.

Nice quality game

Good,sturdy, hard plastic pieces that my 7 year old son likes to play with as figures when not using them to learn to play chess. They are one inch across the bottom and range from 1.5 to approx 2.5 inches in height. Each has the name of the chess piece they represent on the edge of the bottom they stand on. Game comes in a metal box. The board is thin cardboard that folds into quarters and I could see it eventually wearing but pieces could be used on another chess board.

Beautiful, well constructed set

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).

Fantastic game and quality!

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!

Beautiful colorful pieces, too bad the board is cheaply made and defective.

I bought this as a gift. I'm glad I opened the box to check everything out before wrapping it. First even though the chess figures are really cute and brightly colored they reek of a very strong chemical smell. I would have just aired the game out a few days before wrapping it but the board itself had a tear in it right down the middle of the board. Thinking this was just a fluke I ordered another chess set. However, that board also had a tear in the center of the board. I believe this is due to how the board is made and because the material used to make the board is very cheap. It's too bad because the set is so cute but with the defective cheap material used for the board plus the song chemical smell I would not recommend this to anyone.

Must have for fans, chess players, and novelty lovers. But....
by Thomas (5 out of 5 stars)

This product I must say is awesome. Though I only have two qualms with it. First off the pieces do not quite fit rite on the included board. I am going to have to make a board to dimension in order to properly utilise these pieces. Secondly, once the pieces are removed from their holders it is seemingly an act of congress to get the back in. Don't bother. Get a small segmented nuts & bolts box for the pieces as I did. They work perfectly. Other than that this is an altogether beautiful set for the price. A must have for anyone that's a fan of the Mario Brothers game series and a chess player that like the idea of novelty pieces.

Great Mario Chess set for kids and adults
by Flower Fan (5 out of 5 stars)

I balked at the price, but when my 7 year old son opened this on Christmas morning, I validated the expense. The set and pieces are great quality. Only complaint is once the pieces are not in their original places, it gettings hard to remember which piece is Queen, Pawn, etc. It is etched into the front of each piece, but is hard to see. The kids had no problem with this though, it was just the adults who'd forget!

My son loves chess and Mario, so it was a great gift choice.

Meets expectations

The little sweat shop workers who hand paint these figures could apply a steadier hand and the board could be of nicer material but other than that and the fact that the first set I received had a Peach with amputated arms, this set is nice. I was able to get a replacement for the first defective set so no lingering complaints there.

Not meant for kids' play
by Amazon Customer (2 out of 5 stars)

My two grade-school age boys were really excited to get this Super Mario chess set. However, within the first two weeks of receiving it, one of Yoshi's arms has fallen off, the bow has come off of the top of Birdo's head, one of the coin pawns has come off of its base, and Bowser Jr's mohawk is long gone. In addition, the tin that the game comes in is quite malleable and is easy to scratch or dent. I do not feel like the boys have abused the game. Most of the damage to the pieces has been done taking them out or replacing them in their holders. This game seems only to be meant for collectors or teenagers, not for child's play. One of my sons says it is the "worst quality game ever."

Nice set
by Gabba Hey (5 out of 5 stars)

Came in a nice tin with a clear window to see some of the characters. Models aren't *top knotch*, you can see where they were assembled if you look closely, but they do look nice. They're also labeled, which is nice if you want to remember which piece is the knight and which is the rook, but not so good if you want to decide yourself who plays bishop vs rook.

All in all I'm very happy with the purchase for the $18 I paid for it on a sale
