Have acquired the set with practical carrying case for my friend and still treated with tung oil to make it a bit more water resistant and highlight the wood color. The red part of the king turns from crass (Note hood!), So I've still the specially sealed with varnish. I'd like to mention that the parts have been delivered all without cracks or knots, which unfortunately is not self-evident. Playing the wood gets pretty easily dents and small damage from stones, and grass stains can not be avoided. Is All in all, a fun game for outdoors, with the can train the skill and hand-eye coordination. Processing well, limited durability.
