Product Review: Chinese Checkers Game from Jaques of London
Updated: Nov 23, 2021
When we go away on holiday I really like the kids (and me!) to have a digital detox so we use it as an excuse to have no phones, tablets or devices. We try to make it a reset for all of us and enjoy life without technology for a bit.
Saying that, we do need to have some ways to entertain the kids whilst away. So it was very fortuitous that Jaques of London sent us this handmade and hand finished Chinese Checkers game board to try just before our half term trip to the Lake District. I thought the holiday would be a great time to try it out as a family.
Chinese Checkers is a classic board game for 2, 3, 4 or 6 players. Each player has ten pegs of one colour at one starting point of the star. The objective of this game is to occupy the star point directly opposite by moving pegs, and the first person to do this is the winner.
Toys and Games Makers since 1795 (the company invented the game snakes and ladders in 1873), Jaques has played host to family entertainment for centuries past and created some of the world's most adored family board games. At Jaques, they live and breathe play every day. See more of their Wooden Games and Educational Toys here.
My husband liked the strategy of the game whereas the boys just liked jumping over each other and making patterns to start with! But we all soon got into the game and figured it out very quickly - it's really not difficult. My 7-year old, Logan, really enjoyed it and ended up playing it with hubby all throughout the holiday which is unusual for him.
We all liked that it looks like a proper board game, if you know what I mean. The game is beautifully presented, in a gorgeous box with a ribbon. It is handcrafted from beautiful timber, with solid wooden playing pieces.`
This Chinese Checkers game also features a free Go Bang Game on the reverse. We had a go at this one near the end of the holiday. We found this one a lot trickier to understand though!
Although we didn't quite understand all the rules the family did enjoy playing it. I think it will just take us a bit more practice to play this one properly.
However I would definitely recommend this game for all ages. All in all, it is a lovely family fun game which is great value for money. Presented in a lovely way parents and children alike will appreciate the handcrafted pieces.
I can offer you 15% off to try them out for yourself, just visit: https://jaques.games/15off - perfect for a special Christmas present.

Tôi thấy bài đánh giá Chinese Checkers của Jaques of London khá dễ đọc vì tập trung vào một trò chơi bàn quen thuộc và cảm giác khi nhìn vào sản phẩm. Những trò chơi có luật đơn giản thường gợi lại chuyện cả nhà ngồi cùng nhau lúc rảnh. Từ mạch đó, tôi nhớ có lần nghe nhắc SC88 khi mọi người nói rộng hơn về game bài đổi thưởng, dù tôi chưa từng chơi hay dùng dịch vụ này. Hai loại trò chơi không giống nhau, nên tôi không muốn suy diễn thêm. Điều tôi giữ lại sau bài viết là sự thú vị của những cuộc chơi trực tiếp, có người cùng tham gia.
Thinking about connecting vocational learning with Golub-Dobrzyn, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. A realistic practical task can help students see why a classroom concept matters. It makes me curious about the practical side of Golub Dobrzyn vocational education. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How would you connect an assignment with the situations a learner might encounter at work?
What draws my attention to creating inclusive learning activities in Komorniki is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. Offering several ways to participate can help an activity reach pupils with different needs. It makes me curious about the practical side of Komorniki inclusive education. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can teachers adapt a task while keeping its purpose clear?
Considering understanding claims about green barley products, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. An appealing product description raises questions about what evidence supports its claims. I would use that point as a starting question when considering green barley nutrition information. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. How can readers distinguish a general nutrition statement from a claim about a particular product?
The subject of coordinating learning across a school complex feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. Clear information can help families understand how different stages of education connect. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about school learning pathways. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. What makes a transition between school stages easier to prepare for?
