WEofferwhatYOUwant Magnetic Chess Set – 2-in-1 Travel Chess and Checkers – 12.4" Folding Board – Portable Strategy Game with Magnetic Pieces
The WEofferwhatYOUwant Magnetic Chess Set is a 2-in-1 travel game that bundles chess and checkers on a single 12.4-inch folding board. Its pieces feature built-in magnets and felted bottoms for stable, scratch-free play, making it a practical pick for family game nights, road trips, or office breaks.
Two Classic Games, One Folding Board
This set replaces the need for separate boards. Play chess with 32 well-crafted pieces, then flip the board or switch to checkers using the same magnetic surface. The pieces store inside the folded board, so nothing gets lost during transport.
Magnets That Hold Firm
Each chess piece has a small magnet embedded in its base. Combined with a felted bottom, the pieces stay put even when the board is tilted, yet slide smoothly without scratching the playing surface. This makes the set usable on bumpy car rides or wobbly airplane tray tables.
Compact When Folded, Full-Size When Open
Open, the board measures 12.4 by 12.4 inches – large enough for comfortable play. When you're done, it folds to 12.6 by 6.3 inches, roughly the size of a hardcover book. The lightweight build and carrying handle (built into the folding design) let you slip it into a backpack or suitcase.
Built to Last, with a Classic Look
The board uses a thin metal sheet (which interacts with the magnets) bonded to a sturdy plastic frame. A smooth wood-color finish gives it the appearance of a classic wooden set without the weight or cost. The hinges are reinforced to withstand repeated folding.
Who Will Enjoy This Set?
Beginner players, families with children aged 3 and up, and adults looking for a portable strategy game. The magnetic pieces reduce frustration from knocked-over pieces, and the two-in-one format introduces checkers to those who may not own a separate set. It's also a quiet activity for school or office downtime.

Common Questions About This Travel Chess Set
Can you really play both chess and checkers?
Yes. The board includes the same 64 squares used for both games. The set comes with 32 chess pieces and 24 checkers discs – just switch out the pieces depending on which game you want to play.
Are the magnets strong enough to keep pieces in place during a bumpy ride?
The built-in magnets are designed to hold the pieces securely on the metal board. The felt bottoms add friction, so they resist sliding even when the board is slightly tilted.
What material is the board made of?
The playing surface is a thin metal sheet (which attracts the magnets) mounted on a sturdy plastic body. The exterior has a smooth wood-color finish that resists scratches.
Whether you're teaching a child the basics of chess or settling in for a checkers match on a long flight, this set delivers two timeless games in a package that won't weigh you down.
