This is great. Much easier for me to instantly see status of game. I would prefer a wooden board but was easy to buy separately.

I really love this game, but as somebody who has a very hard time discerning between Chinese characters, having pieces shaped as the actual form is extremely helpful and makes the game much more enjoyable for me. This is also a great way to introduce children to the game. I enhanced it a little bit and labeled the characters by their Vietnamese labels. The pictures I uploaded, I added labels myself with sharpie. I really like the detail that you can see in each piece. The bottom of the pieces is a little bit rough and not lined with felt. However I am happy to overlook that considering how detailed the pieces are. They seem to be made from a resin. They are not made from stone. The game mat Is a little bit low-quality and the color is very ugly. But I think this is much better than having a cheap and flimsy cardboard game board. However I think if they were to put a nice white dual color vinyl mat instead - it would be much better. This is the only one of its kind out there. I am very happy with what I received. I think if the pieces were a little more flat/sanded at the base it would be even better. A little more quality control on the bottom surface of the pieces. However it is a small criticism and I am still very happy with what I received.

Por el precio que cuesta, que es caro, no tiene siquiera una caja para almacenar las piezas.

Overall the quality of the pieces is okay while the board is just cheap, but nobody offers the 3d chess pieces for Xiangqi. The Amazon price was also 1/2 of what I see this sold for elsewhere. I want to learn how to play and I don't want to have to do that while I'm also trying to learn which piece is which. If I like the game I'll eventually learn the Chinese symbols, but for now these will allow me to learn and focus on gameplay. I will also buy a good Xiangqi board to play the game on replacing the cheap mat that comes with the set.
