I have having the games all in one place.

Upon opening the box, I was overwhelmed deciding which game to play first. Since I very familiar with checkers and it's the first game I notice (top of the wooden chest). I asked my son to play a game of checkers and he accepted. The pieces to the game are small for adult hands. Even as a woman with a small frame, I found the pieces to be rather small, but they aren't so small that it ruins the ability to play and have fun. There were extra pieces provided perhaps in the event some of the pieces gets lost. We had a blast. My son won the game. After playing checkers, we played a few other games. Some of the games I've never heard of so it's going to be a learning curve involved with some of them. There are so many to choose from. If anyone gets bored with this around, they are likely just a hard to please individual. We had a beach trip planned for a weekend and decided to take the set just in case we found ourselves in the hotel with nothing to do. Well, good thing we did because one of the days, it rained the entire day. With the inability to go to the beach, we decided to buy some snack foods and make a day of it in the room playing games and watching tv. This set saved the day. Yes, we could have used the hotel indoor pool, but since it was raining, I think every guest decided to use it as well. So yes, the room and the games were our best options for a rainy day. The drawback to this set is the wooden games boards and the drawer has the ability to slide out during transport causing all the pieces to fall out. If there was a latch or something providing the ability to secure the drawer and the trays to not slide out, this would be a phenomenal game set. I'm not sure teenagers will like it because it is not electronic or digital, but my teenage niece and nephew enjoyed playing with us while learning how “the adults” were entertained as kids. Of course, they felt we were old by knowing many of the games however, this is how memories are made. If nothing else, they will remember their trip to the beach when it rained and we stayed in the hotel and played games and ate junk food pretty much the entire day. That alone makes the experience worth it. The boards can be flipped to reveal another game on the opposite side. So there are more games than you first see ensuring hours of countless fun.
