I for one will always try to purchase quality and in the case of boardgames for instance I want, if at all possible, go for games made out of wood.
This Particular version of the game most Certainly lives up to my expectations. It is very well Executed and durable and the size of the board and pawns is excellent. Nothing fancy, Which I would most surely dislike.
It comes with 2 well sized cubes, so there is really no need at all to buy on an extra one.
I can not do otherwise than highly recommend this game!
