Christmas Gift Reivew - Mickey The True Original Collector's Chess Set

Over the years I have reviewed a number of items as gift ideas and with Christmas just two months away, I thought I'd go back and pull a few of my past reviews to recommend again this year. If you are looking for gift ideas, consider this . . .  

All three of my grandsons enjoy playing chess . . . especially when they play against me, because they always win! So, when USAopoly said they would send me one of their new to review, I was very happy to be able to include it in this year's Christmas Gift Review!

Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck & Daisy Duck, Pete & Goofy, and more stand in familiar positions on the board for one player to overtake their opponent’s pieces, making Mickey The True Original Collector's Chess Set fun to play for beginners and nostalgic for savvy folks!"

Like I said, what isn't there to love about Mickey The True Original Collector's Chess Set! I love the characters USAopoly chose to be the figures for this chess set and I am so happy to see the quality and design which went into making this game. Chess is a classic game and one which helps children learn to learn - and is just a lot of fun. My middle grandson loves chess so much he is in a chess club and participates in tournaments. Giving the children you love a Chess game is a fantastic game choice - whether they go on to compete in chess tournaments or not. If you only choose one game to add to your family's game collection this Christmas, make it Mickey The True Original Collector's Chess Set.
