GIGAMIC Quoridor Deluxe

The build quality of this board is fantastic. It is similar to a high end cutting board with richly-stained, intricately-grained wood. See my uploaded picture which shows a board that is quite different and much nicer IMO than in the default pic. The finish is silky smooth with no rough edges or splintering. There are 4 rubber feet which support the board nicely. Unfortunately, they are glued on as opposed to screw-ins which would have been more durable (one of my feet fell off immediately and I was able to superglue it back on easily, but if it keeps falling off, I might just remove all 4 feet or get screw-ins). The pawns and fences are finished nicely. The storage box is made of heavy cardboard and should last a very long time.The size of the board is 13" square and 1" thick. The actual playing field is 9" square which is about the size of a small chess board. The sizing is just about right although a couple inches bigger would have been nice.The gameplay is very simple to learn but offers many different complex strategies. Your strategy will need to change from game to game because a strategy that works once may not work again on the same opponent. It's nice that you can play with 2, 3, or 4 players and there is a simple way to handicap players by adjusting the number of fences. This means parents and kids can enjoy this game together. If you haven't played the game before, I would recommend playing an online version to see if you like it.Overall, this is a game set that is showcase material and should last a lifetime or more. It is pretty expensive for a board game but be assured you are getting a high quality product in return.

exceptional quaality board and a really fun game that's easy for anyone to pick up.

Just opened it to play and there was a board but no game pieces! Looks like a quality set but hard to rate when pieces of the game are missing.
