We have given the Vikings chess at Easter our family and have lots of fun with it. The beauty is that really all ages can join (our kids are 5, 8 and 10) and you can vary the difficulty simply by shortening the throwing distance for younger children. The game looks very stable, only the king quickly gets on his red-painted crown quirks. I think he's with red but still beautiful. The bag is super convenient, all the pieces fit easily in and it looks quite stable. Next week we try the game out then also the child's birthday.
