nice board and set

The board is very nice and can be used with any set of pieces with a 3'' King. The magnetic pieces that come with the set are good quality and have reasonably strong magnets which make it feel like they are double weighted when playing.

I don't think you can fling the pieces around easily as can you can with a triple- or quad-weighted plastic set.
