The three supplied boards are printed on both sides, the six boards in the package are only for illustration. The quality of the fixtures is very good. Loose parts, as other reviewers describe, I can not make out. In terms of size, the boards are very good. Remember that you get very small playing fields must not have. Compared to the many cheap collections, I find this even as a good size. The quality of prints also seems very good. The boards are nothing special but well executed: NOTE 1-2
The often criticized Mikado comes in a nice extra box, so that the bars do not fly in the box wildly. Broken or defective rods I can not find. However, you probably can in such fragile elements sometimes have bad luck. By me for the Mikado grade 1
The supplied rummy sheet of the company. Ass. It has been here not so splash out at Philos and not cheap sheet with put into it, how to do it too often found in other collections. This sheet will cost commercially else alone 4-5 euros! NOTE 1
The Domino is unfortunately not such a good choice. Although it is also made of wood (many games collections put here now even plastic!), But the stones are slightly smaller than usual and thin. The imprint of the white eyes figures, at least for me, rather amateurish, ie acts not always clean run (eyes not just on the stones, color is not always "tired" it). Domino players should an extra set buy more for the box, if you play it like. Just because it's made of wood is not the maximum penalty: Grade 5
The stones for checkers, backgammon and mill are rather small and thin, but serve their purpose. Much Players should also here perhaps add: NOTE 4
However, the chess pieces deserve an extra praise. Nice and big and handsome. Such a thing can now be found even with individual chess is no longer common (at least not in the lower price ranges): Clear NOTE 1
The Halma Cones are also turned out not small, and colored pretty strong. Even the weight in your hand, there is nothing to complain about. NOTE 1
The die is pure average, maybe a little light even. It would have been nice also if at least five of the same color for Yahtzee would have been there. The backgammon dice is not a real Doppler, because it has rounded edges like a normal cube, but that should only backgammon cracks like bother me (and who for an extra box of the game). However, if you play a lot should also think of a supplementary purchase additional ordinary dice: NOTE 3-4
The Knobel sticks and stones obstacle for Maleficent (here: Barricade) fulfill their purpose: Grade 3
The included game instruction book is beautifully illustrated also by the quality and. It provides the basic rules of common games and their variations. Many of the additional games seem due to the title but rather for younger players on. In a pinch, you can even buy more specialized books for board, card and dice games or investigate regulations on the Internet, if the supplied variations are no longer sufficient. NOTE 2
A Yahtzee block I unfortunately have to miss. Again replacement is announced. I think something is part of the basic equipment to a collection. The so called Würfelbecher I first not recognized as such: it is made of wood and rather flat like a bowl. I use him as Aufbewehrung for Knobel sticks and other markers in rounds. Who puts on dice value, also comes here not around a purchase. NOTE 5
The box itself is closed with inlaid game boards, an extra cover does not exist. Me personally but rather not bother. The workmanship is very good, but felt inside was my premium version does not, although some critics have it here. The box provides tidy even space for other items such as pencils, larger checkers etc. NOTE 2
Conclusion: The box is not perfect, smaller parts can / must buy more in order to have a truly perfect complete, but the main points such as boards, cards, Halma-cone, etc. are well to top (except for Domino). It has definitely complement the important basis of the collection and, depending on your taste, if one appears important.
In addition, one must not forget that greater Dame stones, better Dominos etc of course the price would also further pushed up.
Overall, four out of five stars
