The Basic Checker Set includes a wooden checker board, 24 plain wooden checkers, and cloth storage pouch for checkers. The basic checker board is crafted from 1/2" thick high quality birch plywood and measures 15" square. Printed playing area is sealed with clear non-toxic finish. 12 black and 12 red checkers measure approximately 1-5/8" diameter by 5/16" thick. Both basic red and black checkers are engraved with a crown on one side, so instead of stacking the checkers to "king" a player simply flip the checker over. Made in the USA by Maple Landmark.  Recommended for ages 8 years and older.
