Magnetic Checker Set

Post by okrunjoe »

I recently bought two magnetic Checker sets from Walmart. The board is about half the size of a regulation board. About 9 and 1/2 inches. The Checkers are great. They stick to the board and you can stack them for a king. You can actually hold the board upside down and they won't fall. The board is black and white with black and white Checkers. When the black checkers are on the black squares it is hard to see them. So, I spray painted the black Checkers red and it works really well. This Checker set is good for travel. You can sit in you easy chair and go over positions or you can be in bed. The Checker set is $12. You can get a combination, Checkers, Chess and Backgammon for $15. I would recommend this to everyone.

Yes, I do just about all of my analysis and problem solving with the magnetic board while sitting in my Lazy Boy. I place the pieces removed from the board in a crease in my shirt. It works great. I have mailed 25 of these Checker/Chess sets to my friends.
