Great for travel and waiting times.
Very handy! We love battleship and this is a fun way to carry it wherever we go. It’s great for traveling, waiting at the doctors office or airport. Pieces magnetize to the top or bottom so you can pick up where you left off. Great if you have middle aged kids (or adults!!) to keep them entertained and communicating!

Great for travel!!
We have a daughter in club volleyball, so I actually purchased this to help pass the time in between games. We haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I look forward to beating my husband when we do!

Great for travel
My three year old is obsessed with cars. This was the perfect travel item to keep him entertained. He played with the cars by moving them around the board, as well as with us by throwing the die and practicing our counting as we moved around the board. Small and light. Die however is very small. Will not have this out near our one year old.

Great for travel
This kept my 6 and 8 year olds entertained on a long road trip. Also great to keep in your purse for restaurants, long waits, etc. My only complaint is that the small dice is not magnetic, so I won’t be surprised if we lose it at some point. Great otherwise!

Very small pieces, hard to handle!
The Purple Cow Magnetic Travel Solitaire Game - Board Games for Kids and Adults. Great for T... is a great idea however I found it to be very difficult to use the magnetic pieces ("cards") due to them being so small. Difficult to shuffle and place on the metal lid (inside has a place to put them to play). At least it is magnetic so the pieces stay put where you put them.

Good idea, very poor design and execution
A travel-size magnetic Battleship-type game? Perfect! Sounds ideal for roadtrips and waits at restaurants and airports, doesn't it? If only. Here are the problems: 1. The design of the pieces is not great. The cardboard and the magnet separate far too easily, so even before we could play, we had to get out the glue and try to fix it. 2. The design of the game itself is very poor, and not well thought out at all. Each player has five little ships, 18 or so red circles for "hits," and 49 black circles for "misses." This makes sense for game play, but the board isn't big enough to hold the pieces while playing. (See the picture I attached.) Where in the world are you supposed to put the pieces so you can play the game and see the numbers and letters on the grid? You could put them in a cup or bowl, but remember: This is supposed to be a travel game that you can easily play on the go. This is a more than a design flaw: It makes the game virtually unusable. 3. Okay, let's say you figure out what to do with the extra pieces, and you're able to start playing. Your opponent calls out a coordinate, and it's a hit. If you were playing Battleship, you'd put a red peg in your ship. Here, you try to put a red magnet on your ship that was hit, and... no luck. The red piece is too big in relation to the ship, and the magnet is too weak, so it slips right off. Maybe this doesn't sound like a dealbreaker, but let's say you hit one of your opponent's ships, and you're playing against a kid who's still getting a feel for the game. What should have been a fun game just became incredibly confusing and frustrating, and in my case, the game was given up almost immediately. What we have here is a good idea in need a design overhaul, and until then, it's simply not practical or worth buying.

Slim travel Backgammon
In search for a travel size Backgammon for a long trip by air internationally, I stumbled upon this lovely little set. Great size for children or adults, and super convenient magnetic pieces(have to hold the cheaters accountable during long trips). I love the practicality for traveling and this would make a great gift idea. Anyway, highly. 10/10 did purchase mostly for the zebra animal graphic design.

Es práctico para llevar en el bolso y entretener a tu hijo. Lo malo es que las fichas son tan pequeñas que se acaban perdiendo y la ruleta es muy pequeña también, pero necesario para que el juego ocupe poco espacio.

The pieces are magnetic. It is portable. If it ever goes on sale, then definitely buy it.

Acquistati tanti tipi di giochi tascabili e magnetici davvero belli e divertenti, sia da viaggio che in casa sia per grandi che per piccini, comodi perché nella scatola di latta e con il magnete rimangono lì e non si perdono i pezzi. Carini da usare e mettere in borsa anche durante attesa.
