The chemical smell when opening present, but not long disturbing. Is the first board on the table, and set up the figures, no longer noticed to the odor. It is found mainly in the lining for stowing the figures.
Overall, the game makes a very nice impression of quality which is only slightly dampened looking closely. The fire ornaments the figures are not always worked out consistently, nevertheless make the figures in conjunction with the beautiful field a very chic impression, and the felt is something with some figures on. However, this flaw could be resolved quickly with scissors.
When considering the total picture, this game of chess, a clear recommendation is really cheap and worth.
Who is bastlerisch somewhat gifted, will certainly find a way to recreate the lining inside for stowing the figures themselves high. The old deposits can be easily removed for this purpose from the cassette. I myself am already thinking this quality nachzubasteln to the overall visual impression when opening to improve even further.
