Not to have to remove pieces ever from a board is amazing..plus rolling up and taking it on the go is awesome.
Only thing they could improve is some interferences as well as make the king and queen better looking

It was a gift for my son. He absolutely loves it.

I gave it as a gift. Im sure it is great.

I bought the VentureBoard as a gift for my 13 year old son, and it was an absolute hit. He was surprised and more than happy when he unrolled it and saw how cleverly it works. The magnetic pieces stay perfectly in place even when you roll it up to pause a game. This pause feature is a lifesaver in our house with two energetic 4 year old girls running around, we can stop mid-game without losing the board position. The compact design makes it ideal for travel or quick games anywhere, and the build quality feels sturdy and premium. We have already had tons of fun matches, and it has sparked even more interest in chess for him. Highly recommend this innovative portable set it is a game changer.

We learned about this product during camping from our young nephew and ordered it (and backgammon) on the spot. These game boards are well designed and well built. Magnet is strong enough for the pieces to stay in places while being rolled up and moved around but easily can be moved during the game.
