Mainstreet Classics Octagon 5-in-1 Game Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game set is so beautifully crafted with thick and steady leather walls, a felt anti sliding bottom, and felt interior that is split into quadrants for game storing organization purposes. The overall construction is much better than most store bought combination gaming sets. The double-sided and removable top contains the same soft leather look with black and white checkered design on one side for games such as checkers & chess, and a dark red and white backgammon board upon the other side. The chess pieces are about two inches long and appear to look like ivory and chocolate wood carvings with soft brown felt on their bottom side. The black and ivory backgammon pieces are about a half inch round with green felt underneath. Also included are some thick and well made ivory dominoes, poker dice, an ivory and black set of rolling dice, two 2X3 inches of black leather looking dice cups, one large and two medium sized black draw string velvet looking pouches for gaming purposes or storing small gaming pieces and instructions for Dominoes, Bacgammon, Chess, Checkers, and Cribbage. Such a great activity for family gaming nights and gift giving purposes.

Schylling Mancala Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nicely made and nice looking mancala game, but it's not as described. The buyer needs to be aware of several differences. First and most important: manufacturer did not include instructions in package. You have to go onto their website and print the instructions yourself, which is a real nuisance if, like me, you don't own a computer and have to go to the public library to access one. The stones are not coloured glass as shown in the picture, but polished river stones. I like the river stones better, but buyer needs to be aware it won't look like the one pictured in Amazon's listing. Also, the picture shows a solid board, whereas this one folds in two. If a solid board is desired, you'll need to buy another one. Finally, it should have included a little bag for the stones. The version I received from the seller when I purchased this game was called Panda's Pic Mancala by Schylling. The board is made of bamboo. It's possible Schylling might have more than one version, and that a different version was shown. To sum up, it's a nicely made, durable, good looking set, just different. Omitting the instructions was not good, however!
