My 8-year old just recently started getting into Chess so anything that helps encourage him to keep at it was why I paid the $8 for this.
Thankfully, this did not disappoint. It’s a cross between a old Nintendo game while training on the core mechanics of Chess piece movements. Love the small details like keys, finding objects, and coins. My son loves it!
Overall, if your child is interested in Chess, this is a great way to get them excited about it.
My only notes, would be great to use the found cards to explain more about the history of the game (in bite-size kid format) on things such as “why is it called a Rook?”
Other than that - great game!
