(Sample. My set doesn't have a box)

I'm so excited. My mom found my Renaissance Chess Set that I grew up with. And as a bonus the box also held the Stratego game pieces. Didn't have either of the boards but that's okay, I made some. We don't have a large chess board and the Stratego uses a 10x10 checkerboard rather than the standard 8x8.

They say chess is the best game to play with your kids. I've looked but couldn't bring myself to buy any of the boards I've seen. Especially, with young kids, I don't think there is a better set than the Renaissance set with the real-life figurines. I've played with Cassidy, David AND Kristen. So far they seem to like it. Strategy will come later, they are just learning how to move the pieces.

I had a friend that nicknamed me Milton Bradley because of all the board games I had. I'm happy to pass along my love of board games to my kids.
