I purchased Story Time Chess for my 5 and 7-year-old children, and it has quickly become a family favorite. The fun characters and story add an extra level of excitement and engagement, making it a great option for young children who have a hard time sitting still for traditional chess lessons.

I love Story Time Chess and so do my grandkids. The stories are entertaining and well written, the characters are likable, the exercises and puzzles are the right difficulty. This unique approach helped them understand the different moves and strategies, and develop a deeper appreciation for chess.

My 5 year old is completely obsessed with Story Time Chess and asks to play all the time. He loves to play the small practice games included in the book, and also asks to read and listen to the stories. Story Time Chess is a great family game that has helped us all learn or freshen up our chess skills!

Judith

We absolutely LOVE Story Time Chess, and our 5 year-old granddaughter caught on right away. The stories for each piece are sweet and memorable. We never write reviews, but we had to applaud for this great approach to the game! It makes chess accessible for everyone, from little ones to adults and everyone in between.

Linda

I got Story Time Chess for my 3 year old. He was able to set up the board and learn how the pieces move right away. He couldn't yet play a full game of chess, but the mini-games kept him interested. The expansion pack helped him a lot, he enjoyed the stories and workbooks, and now he knows how to play a full game!
