"Very well made set -- a gift for my son"
My soon-to-be-grandson loves to play chess... Now my son has a set to help him learn the strategy of the game better. This is a high quality set. I was looking for one with traditional looking pieces. I loved that I could send it to him already wrapped, too (I chose the fancier gift wrap).

"Travel chess set"
I bought two of these for grandchildren leaving for college. The chess pieces and board were perfectly made and presented and packed beautifully. Novica has provided items for me before and has become the go-to source for finding important memories for family and friends

"Perfect Game"
I bought this game as a gift for my family to spend time with each other. My grandfather loved bowling so much and this little game helps me to pass on the tradition to another generation. I love that this game is small and portable.
