Folding Draughts Set - 12" Board & Pieces High Quality Draughts Set (0+ Years)

This Jaques set has a 12 inch board, about 30.5cm x 30.5cm, with wooden pieces around 2.5cm in diameter. That size suits the suggested age range of 6 to 7 well, since the squares and pieces are large enough for smaller hands to grip and move confidently. It is also a manageable footprint for a table or lap, so a young player is not overwhelmed by a board built for adult play.

The pieces are handcrafted from timber, not plastic, while the board itself is made from tough card designed to last through repeated folding and play. So you get solid wooden playing pieces paired with a durable folding board, rather than an all-plastic set. This combination is built for a board game that gets opened and closed many times over the years.

Draughts is played on the 12 inch board included in this set, using the wooden pieces roughly 2.5cm across supplied with it. Jaques has made draughts sets since 1795, so the board and piece sizing here follows a long established format rather than a novelty design. It is a straightforward two player game, which is part of why it is suggested from around age 6 to 7. No extra equipment is needed beyond the board and pieces in the box.

Yes, this is a folding board, made from tough card specifically so it can be closed up and stored without taking up much space. That makes it easy to put away between games or pack for travel. The wooden pieces are sized at about 2.5cm diameter, small enough to sit inside the board when folded shut.

Jaques suggests this set for children from around 6 to 7 years old. The 12 inch board and 2.5cm wooden pieces are sized to be easy for that age group to handle. Draughts itself is a simple turn based game, which makes it a reasonable first strategy board game once a child is comfortable with basic rules.
