Pressman Toy Parcheesi Board Game - Classic Family Strategy Game in Red Box (5") - Perfect for Game Nights, Parties & Indoor Fun

I hope this review will be informative, I have both positive and negative feedback on this product :Box: 1/5: The the top of the box appears to be made of 1/32" single walled cardboard, thin but the corrugation gives it much needed strength. the bottom of the box however is made of what I approximate to be between 24 and 30pt cardstock (~.7mm thick) about the same as most cereal boxes, and not adequate for a box of its size or fill level to give much if any protection to its contents. I would not recommend leaving it in its standard box if you plan to use it as a travel set.Board 2/5:, The board is usable, but is rather flimsy at roughly 1/16" (1.5mm) thick, mine came with a white creased bend along one edge where the box was lightly crushed during shipping(see picture). I would not say it lives up to the "durable" descriptor on the box.Chess pieces 4/5: hollow, injection molded plastic and therefore Light, flashing on sides is very minimal, but a few of the pieces have larger bits of flashing on the bottom, most of it comes of easily, but the bottom edges that will require a bit of deburring or sanding before the base will lay flush with the board. they are shaped well though and there are no visible shrinkage or deformation of the pieces.Checkers 4/5: pieces look great. only one had a bit of flashing but it came off easily with a fingernail. that said grooves on top are not good deep enough to get good engagement when kinged.Dice 4/5: both are very good and roll fine. there is only the slightest of residual paint haze from the pips on the a few of the faces, could be due to an inadequate wipe on the cleanup after printing, could just be a slightly porous surface.Overall 3/5: At the price point, I wasn't expecting it to be the best combination chess/checkers & backgammon set ever, but I felt I set my expectation appropriately and was underwhelmed. a stronger box would better keep the lightweight board protected, though a heavier-duty board would also be preferred.I Wish I had looked at the reviews more closely before purchasing, I would have probably bought a different set.
