Loved the board and pieces as pictured online. A little disappointed that I received different colored marbles than pictured.. I did not receive the orangish color or the tannish color which I think just kind of all match so nicely on your site to complete the set. I received other colors.. a couple of the colors are hard to distinguish from one another when setting up and playing the game. So I’ve been looking online elsewhere to try to find some replacement marbles but it’s tough to find 10 of one color and something that would go nicely with your set.. so definitely a little disappointing for someone who likes things to be just so. Otherwise would have absolutely LOVED this.
Hi Susan! Thank you for pointing this out to us. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the marbles you received with your new Star Checkers Game. As artisans at Asha Handicrafts Association are creating the game with available resources, there may be color variations with the marbles. We will work to update the product’s page to be more accurate. Please look for an email from us so we can learn more about your experience.
This is the second time I am purchasing this beautiful set! The first was years ago for my husband and me, and every time my brother comes to visit, he loves to play it, and admires the craftsmanship of it. So I purchased him his own set this year for Christmas. I am sure he will love it! One thing of note—the marble colors are dependent upon whatever is available to the craftsmen at the time of production. They differ from the photos, but are all beautiful in their own right.
This game is beautifully crafted and exactly what I was hoping for. Package arrived on time and well boxed. I love that this set has marbles instead of pegs. We will enjoy this for years to come.
Excellent quality!
I gave each of my sons in their 30’s one for Christmas, then my daughter asked for one too.
I always make sure at least one of their gifts help others.
Gift for my son-in-law. He absolutely loved it!!
Great gift!
The board is of quality construction and the marbles have a storage bag for when the game is not on display.
I loved the set that was shipped - the wood was smooth and dark brown. The marbles were perfect. The only issue was that one of the ball indents was not made/pressed and thus the game was unusable. I had to return it to the store for an exchanged. Both sets in store were light wood and one had a crack in it. The marbles also had more natural imperfections. Still overall nice set but there is wide variation in wood and marble natural imperfections.
This was my favorite game as a kid and this set does not disappoint! The pouch for keeping the marbles is especially well-designed, with dividers to store the marbles by color. The mango wood board has a very rustic feel.
Are the marbles wooden?
