CHINESE CHECKERS | 48.5CM X 48.5CM | PLANET FINSKA

BEST SELLING PLANET FINSKA

Crafted entirely from linden plywood, a refined timber often used in guitar making, this Planet Finska Chinese Checkers set is a true work of art. The board is finished with engraved designs inspired by antique playing boards from the 1940s, making it a joy to play. The playing pieces are equally special - six sets of beautiful semi-precious gemstone marbles, adding a touch of elegance and making this set a timeless keepsake, perfect to be passed down through generations.

Despite its name, Chinese Checkers actually originated in Europe in 1892 as a star-shaped version of the American game "Halma." The six-pointed star allows for two, three, four, or six players, making it a family favourite. Players must use strategy and skill to block opponents while hopping their ten gemstone marbles across the board to reach the opposite star point first. Designed in Australia, this set is both a designer piece and a classic game for all ages.
