XL Full-Size 10 Inches Magnetic Unique Chess Set Board Game - Folding Board, Travel Chess Board Game Pieces - (Black/Grey)

Perfect gift for school age son. They are able to save a game between classes instead of take down amd tey and remember where they ledt off. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love the VentureBoard — it's become my go-to travel companion! The build quality is outstanding: solid, durable, and clearly made to last through all kinds of adventures. Whether I’m tossing it in a backpack or pulling it out for a quick game at a campsite or airport, it holds up beautifully. Everything from the pieces to the board itself feels thoughtfully designed and high-end, which is honestly surprising at this price point. Had a blast taking it with to music festival and just cracking it open on while dancing and people playing a game with me in all the chaos and the pieces not moving. Will probably get the small version to for hikes

Lovely solid design, excellent quality, with reliable retention of the game status. Easily transported and fun to use. Definitely eye catching and a conversation starter.

Love this concept. There def isn't one better out there based on my research. We bought the larger version bc I liked the pieces better. But I think bc the pieces are heavier, they will move about in transit. I'm still happy with the purchase, but you can't really save a game. The pieces also started scratching the board from the jump so that's kind of a bummer too. All and all, it's pretty sweet.

I am so sad. I got the board two days ago and I was so excited. The idea is fantastic! The size is perfect for analysis and traveling. I love how it opens and closes. The pieces are beautiful. The magnets that hold the pieces to the board are real strong. When you close it, it saves your analysis of a position perfectly. Some reviewers mentioned it moves, but I did not find that by shaking it. However, the problem for me is the magnetic locking mechanism. The magnets detatch from their slots. When I got my first board, I didn't notice it for a couple of hours after working with it. But the magnet pair on one end separate and was connected to it's adjoining magnet pair. On closer examining by opening and closing it, the magnet pair on the other end came off. Only the middle magnet pair was left attached. I sent it back, hoping that this was a one off. Unfortunately, the replacement that came today, right when I opened it, again one of the magnet pair were connected to its partner. There for this is a defect that runs through the product line. I'm really sad. Not even for traveling, this is a great space saver. You can quickly open it up and lay it on your desk for analysis and then just quickly roll it up and put it aside. My other boards are more for dinning room tables or game tables. If you have a small wooden board for your office desk, you still have to contend with putting all the piece in their separate box or bag, but with this , it's just so simple. I'm going to give it a few days and think and weigh the pros and cons and think about sending it back. However, if you want this to travel, it won't hold up. The locks will all eventually separate and it won't be able to close. For close to $90, basically a hundred, this is disappointing.This is a real let down.

Super cool idea- need to improve the hinges. I bought this board for my 13 year old son for Christmas. I figured it would be a great way to pause a game of chess and easy clean up. For this it's perfect. Unfortunately the hinges are too week and have broken. We have probably opened and closed this board maybe a 2 dozen times....seems like a design or manufacturing flaw. Considering the hinges are they key to this products function they need to reconsider the materials being utilized (reinforced with metal?)

I randomly came across the Ventureboard portable chess set while scrolling through various social media sites. As I have always been a fan of chess and love to play it, finding a portable chess board has always been on my list as most "portable" ones tend to be stiff rigid boards that are hard to pack with loose pieces. So I figured I would take a gamble on this set as you never know with what you see and find on the internet and I am glad that I did! This set is really amazing and lives up to my expectations and needs! It is easy to just roll the entire board up, even mid game, and not have a piece fall off or move once packed up. It literally takes seconds to just wrap the board up onto itself and you are set to go. I am also glad I went with the XL version, as I have big hands and moving these larger pieces is a lot easier to do then the smaller board. Plus the XL version pieces actually look like chess pieces and not general little pieces with a logo on them. Once rolled up, the XL board is about the size of a Yeti water bottle, so about 11 inches tall and 4 inches wide which means it is easy to throw into a backpack or piece of luggage. Overall, I would say this is a must buy for anyone who is a chess fan and needs a quick and easy board to take with them on the go. I showed the XL board off at my job and already have a few people wanting to pick up one for themselves.

Love the board! Its super nice and unique. My only complaint is that after 1 game with my son the board was covered in scratches.......i collect chess boards and between you and me scratchs are horrible and distracting. I ordered 1/2 felt stickers for the bottoms of the pieces, but it was to late the damage was done.This issue needs to be adress by the product makers. It is a super awsome board and i get compliments about it, but is ruined by scratches..........each board should come with felts to put on pieces if the buyer wants to protect the board. Awsome product, with 1 major flaw...would have 5 star if not for scratchs.
