Story Time Chess: Het spel

The custom chess pieces with their silly faces made it so much easier for my kindergartner to remember which piece was which. After just a few story sessions, he was setting up the board by himself and asking to play.

My 7-year-old was totally lost trying to learn chess from apps, but the silly knight story in the card game finally clicked for her. She actually remembers how the pieces move now because of those vibrant illustrations.

The stories are cute and my kid enjoys the characters, but the card game part feels a bit tacked on and doesn't flow as smoothly as the chess lessons. It's decent for introducing the basics, though I wish the board were a little bigger for smaller hands.
