Fun Family Chess from Brain Blox: A TOS Crew Review

Fun Family Chess from Brain Blox

We are enjoying  our new game Fun Family Chess from Brain Blox, Learning to play the "game of kings" has never been so easy!

Designed for ages 5 and up, Fun Family Chess is a color-coded, learn as you play game.  It comes in a sturdy, well-designed wooden box and includes:

• Folding Wooden Chess Board
• 32 Wooden Chess Pieces in a Soft Pouch
• Full Color Chess Book
• 2 Reference Cards
• Chess Cube

The game is designed for 2 players, but you could easily turn this into a family game by creating teams to play. 

There are 2 ways of playing.  Regular chess, and Fun Family Chess.  Check out this video to see:

The main difference is the "chess cube" - a handy die that gives the player color coded instructions for how to move each piece.  What a simple, yet effective tool!  The reference card provides a color-coded map to use while playing.  I'm pretty sure they designed these with me in mind...  

One of the things we loved about this game was all the easy to follow instructions and helpful Youtube videos - some of us learn better by watching!  From learning how to set up the board and play, to detailed instructions on how to move each piece the videos made it easy for even my beginner players.  The videos are well-done, and funny too.

The quality of this set really stands out as well.  The board, doubles as a wooden storage case is designed to stand up to real family use.  I hate games that can't take the wear and tear of real play, don't you?  The chess pieces are wood, with velvet bags to store them in.  

With 8 children, we have a wide variety of skill levels when it comes to playing games. Fun Family Chess made it easy for my younger children to learn and develop the confidence to play with some of their older siblings. 

There's another fun bonus too - you get a Free 2 month gold membership to ChessKid.com - so you can continue developing your chess skills in a fun, safe online environment.

Brain Blox is a family-owned company with the mission "to empower families to be more conscious & intentional with one another... through meaningful play"  I couldn't agree more!
