I wanted a set of classic board games that I could play with my son and decided on this one, and what a great purchase! The games are well made and the boards are very good quality. The instructions for the games are well written and very easy to follow. It is so convenient to have so many games in one box and the space saved by purchasing the games this way is fantastic too.Highly recommended!Game boards included:ChessDraughtsSnakes & LaddersBackgammonSolitaireFox & HensChinese ChequersHalmaLudoNine Men's MorrisOther games:DominoesPick Up SticksTiddlywinksDeck of cardsDiceAll of the relevant accessories needed to play the games are included (chess pieces etc.)

There are cheaper games compendiums, but you get what you pay for!! THIS one is very good value when costed against buying the main games separately. The 4 boards {double sided} are good quality, the playing pieces ~ 'men' & counters ~ are plastic but serviceable, the dominoes are decent quality, as are the dice. I priced it out that to buy equal quality, you would be lucky to get 3 or 4 of the main games separately for the same money, & in this set you have what you need to play many more games which have playing instructions included in a booklet. I bought one of these as a gift for a friend. It was used by adults & given 5 stars,

I cannot fault thing compendium of games. The box contains everything you need for hours of family games. The boards are well made and double-sided, they are made from thick cardboard and the printing is good. There are dominoes, pick-up sticks, cards, counters, dice, shaker and instructions. Literally everything you need for some of the most popular family games.Some of the games in the instruction leaflet are similar to other games, and some are not as much fun as others. But there is plenty of games for all ages and abilities. The best bit is that are no batteries required!For the price, I am delighted with this box set and would happily recommend it.

It has chess, ludo, snakes and ladders, tiddly winnks and a host of other games, keep the 6 year old at bay, H eloves playing the old classic games and with so many to choose from, bordem is ut of the question. Its good value for money, the games and equipoment are well made,If you were to buy all these separately you'd be looking over £40 but for £18 it's a no brainer, pieces a little small for anyboy under 3 but, will withstand the hammer and abuse form a 6 year old.I have to agree this is deffo a good compendium to buy, even the parents will sneak in a game of ludo or sbnakes and ladders when the kids have gone to SLEEPBUY BUY BUY !!!!

As I remembered having a games compendium as a child and that it proved ideal for family and friends to be included in games together I bought this item as a family present for my son and his family, carrying on a tradition. I`ve not opened the seal on the box so can`t judge the quality of the contents but based upon the size of box, the weight of it and the list of contents I think it should fit the bill for family entertainment. It`s my opinion that it could/should be a bit cheaper in cost but if the contents provide interest/fun for 2 or 3 years it could be worth the cost. Delivery was speedy and efficient. I like this product.

It does come with a lot of games and instruction but some of the game like Chinese Chess for example the board is too small for the stuff to move around. I used to play this game when I was young and I wanted to show my 2 years old boy when he grows up. Other than that happy with the purchase. I didn't even know there are a lot of different way to play the games which makes it about 100 games basically. I would probably stick to what I used to play and what I know but there are also a few games that I have never seen it before. I might have to read some where about how to play them since instructions can be a bit confusing.

Good product, basic games collection. Has got all the classics though it is a little bit lightweight, a lot of the alleged 100 games are pretty naff and just very slightly altered games from other versionsI wanted a set of classic board games that I could play with my son and decided on this one, and what a great purchase! The games are well made and the boards are very good quality. The instructions for the games are well written and very easy to follow. It is so convenient to have so many games in one box and the space saved by purchasing the games this way is fantastic too.

I was after a compendium board game set for my kids. Spotted this in the toy shop for £19.99, quick check on the smartphone on Amazon and I couldn't believe that it was nearly £15 cheaper. Purchased it and was very surprised at the quality of the set and types of games you can play. Ludo, snakes and ladders, pick up sticks, chess, draughts. yaatze, backgammon, dominos, tiddlywinks and so on... This is a high recommended set and will keep kids entertained for hours. The only problem is that my kids are fighting about which game to play next :-)

We have only had this compendium just over a week and my children have already played a selection of the games including several which are new to them. It is a real delight watching them learning the skills for traditional low tech games with some real educational benefits.They have already had their money's worth and will continue to enjoy it for a long time to come.The quality of the set is far from luxurious. There is alot of plastic, but there is so much crammed in, it is excellent value for less than £20

Looked everywhere for a compendium of games that included Snakes and Ladders and Ludo as well as others. This set has it all including Nine Mens Morris(!), chess, backgammon, draughts, dominoes as well as card games, dice and many others. All the boards are clearly labelled and the instruction booklet is well printed in good english with loads of variations for many of the games. Many sets costing over twice as much do not come close to this one. A real bargain at the price and delivered safely and quickly.

Bought it for my 4 year old niece -helped her to quickly pick up numbers and also to understand winning/losing. Has been a great set for her play dates. It offers a lot to choose from but I dont think any one individual would know all the games in the pack. All the different boards and pieces are of good quality as well with clear pictures (a lot of other options were either too crowded with pictures or too many colours, ....) and also includes an instruction booklet for a variety of games.

Having received delivery of this games compendium just today the first thing we did was to check out the quality. We were impressed both by the look of the box and the quality of the boards inside . Good quality games compendiums are hard to find in the shops and this is certainly a box filled with nostalgia for ones own childhood and the hours spent playing tiddlywinks, snakes and ladders and ludo . We bought this product because of the good reviews given it by other purchasers .

I bought this for my grandchildren so that we could play games together and actually talk to one another at the same time. I think this compendium is excellent value as it contains the instructions and necessary kit to play dozens of games. All the boards are robust and the set includes everything from dice and playing cards to chess pieces and score sheets.We have used it many times already and the quality of the contents means that wear and tear is minimal so far.

I purchased this compendium of games as my grandchildren, 1 of 8 years,the other 12 years old were going to be visiting for the weekend. I knew it was going to be one of those wet weekends. We spent hours playing the games. We had lots of fun, and lots of laughs. Not once did i hear 'I am bored' they just wanted to play. Great quality, great enjoyment value, great price. Would thoroughly recommend if you want to keep those kids amused.
