4.6(9 Rating)(6)(2)(1)(0)(0)Ett fint och genomarbetat schack. Snabb leverans och fint packeterat.Jätte nöjd, snabb leverans å varan höll hög kvalitet.Färgen på pjäsarna är nästan lika. Det är svårt att skilja i vilken sida man spelar med. Annars är det vacker schack. Jag kunde köpa det om den hade tydliga färger. Silver och guld är strålar samma ljus. Ögonen blir trött.Mycket fint spel, men svårt att se skillnad på pjäserna, guld och silver så liten skillnad.

About Manopoulos
Since 1972, Greece’s Manopoulos has been brightening its customers’ everyday lives and bringing people together with its handmade, limited edition boardgames. The company’s exceedingly high standards are reflected in the quality, material and design of each product that leaves its Thebe workshop. For Manopoulos, each individual board game tells its own story.

Soon thereafter, he decided to devote himself to his hobby full-time.
