The ventureboard looks great, but my only issue is that one side is not laying flat. It gets stuck when it unfolds and when I move one of the white pieces the board lifts up with the piece. The black side of the board is stable and stationary. I tried emailing the company twice, but have not received a response after two weeks of waiting.

Bought for travel but we live using because unlike a regular set, it takes up no space at all, and you can easily pause in the middle of the game and save the set up for later

The quality seems very good. I'm not sure the magnetic hold is strong enough to keep the pieces in place during a rough hike or travel. We will see. But it looks solid. I like that it came will spare pieces and stickers. Although it was disappointing that they already had one marked as a second queen. Oh well. I look forward to using with with my kids on future trips.

I purchased the Venture Board for my son. He is an avid chess player. He is also an Eagle Scout who enjoys the outdoors. This chess set is perfect for his active lifestyle. It looks very durable and fun for camping.
