Husaria Wooden Three-Player Chess - 32 centimeters - with Foldable Board, Handcrafted Playing Pieces, and Felt-Lined Storage

When the wife offered me a three-way this wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Actually I had never seen one of these before and didn't want to spend too much in case I hated the game. The board is medium sized but genuine wood with three nice sets of wooden pieces and the inside is velvet lined. The whole thing looks good quality. Pieces are slightly light to my feeling without a bias. They play well and the 'squares' and lines are quite clearly marked which is a big help as getting used to the standard moves on a three-way board is a bit strange. Fortunately a set of basic rules and move-guide is included - worth reading around on the internet too though. Three way is a completely different game. Perhaps not relaxing as you are fighting on two fronts at once but certainly challenging and refreshing. At this price even if you don't take to the game having a set laid out for display makes an interesting talking point. Well worth having a go at this price.

The game is a blast - it adds the complexity of teaming up against the leading player and the ability to betray each other. Moreover, even if you are good at chess, the fact that the pieces can now move in a new fashion can make even experienced players stumble and lose their pieces, meaning that the game is now more fair for any skill level. I have only one small drawback to note: I've bought a version with a small piece size, and it is sometimes uncomfortable to move them without kicking some other piece down. However, because of their size, it is easier to put them in a bag in case you need to travel somewhere or in case you go camping with your friends. Overall, great product. Didn't think I would have that much fun with it. Recommend!

Buena calidad.

I just received this this morning, a day later than it was supposed to. But that doesn't really matter too much, and was probably more Amazon's fault. It looks great, the board is beautifully made. There are some imperfections in where the borders line up and the sizes of the squares, but that's to be expected from a handmade product. The pieces are also great. Very simple, but that isn't a bad thing. Some of the pieces have a bump on the bottom, under the felt, that causes the pieces to wobble. Some of the felt appears to have hardened glue on the bottom, which prevents them from sliding across the board properly. But again, handmade, so everything isn't going to be perfect and consistent. From the pictures, it looked like the borders between squares were raised above the board, but they are not. They are recessed, and don't interfere with the pieces sliding around at all. One thing I was seeing in other reviews was that the set didn't include instructions. Mine included an instructional pamphlet, so I'd assume that all of them do now. But honestly it isn't too much trouble to just google "How to play three player chess." I don't personally think that should be worth a whole star, but to each there own. Another thing I saw in a review was that it was "smaller than expected." The title says "Wooden Three Player Chess - 11," and the description is very exact on the size of the board. They aren't hiding anything from you. It is exactly as they say it is. One last thing, I wish it was clear where the red queen goes. The white queen goes on white, and the black goes on black, but I don't know which color the red queen goes on. In the picture, it goes on white, but the colors are in the wrong order in that picture so who knows.
