Story Time Chess: Level 3

The mini-games in this set are fantastic for sneaking in tactical lessons—my son didn’t even realize he was learning board analysis. We’ve been reading a new chapter each night, and it’s kept him engaged far longer than I expected for a strategy game.

My three-year-old was already hooked on the earlier levels, but the board analysis mini-games in this one really got him thinking ahead. The nine new chapters kept him engaged for weeks without any frustration.

The stories keep my three-year-old engaged, but the mini-games feel a bit repetitive after a few plays. Still, it’s a solid next step for learning tactics without being overwhelming.
