Description

Chinese Checkers for 6 Players is a full-size all-wood Chinese Checkers set, about 12.2 inches across, that folds in half, latches shut, and holds every playing peg inside. There is no loose bag to lose and no marbles rolling off the table: open the board and 2 to 6 people are ready to play. Cut from thick hardwood, it suits family game nights, grandparents at the kitchen table, and anyone who wants a strategy game that stores itself.

We built this larger board after a steady run of requests for a bigger all-wood set, and we chose wooden pegs rather than marbles on purpose. Pegs seat firmly in the board, so a bumped table will not scatter your game, and they are easier to pick up than glass marbles. Folded, the set is about 1.5 inches thick and weighs around a pound and a half, so it stores on a shelf and travels without spilling.

Despite the name, Chinese Checkers is not Chinese. It was invented in Germany in 1892 as Stern-Halma, a six-pointed-star reworking of the older game Halma, and American game makers renamed it Chinese Checkers in 1928 because the exotic name sold better. That six-pointed star is what lets all six players race across the board at once, and it has kept families at the table for well over a century.

Personalize the board with a name, date, or short message by laser engraving. Made by Creative Crafthouse and shipped from our Florida shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chinese Checkers for 6 Players board?

It is a full-size all-wood Chinese Checkers set, about 12.2 inches across, built for 2 to 6 players. What sets it apart is the case: the board folds in half, latches shut, and stores every playing peg inside, so there is no separate bag to lose and nothing loose to spill. We built this larger version after a run of requests for something bigger than a travel board.

How does the folding board store the pegs?

The board is hinged down the middle and closes like a book with a latch. All of the wooden pegs seat into the playing holes and stay put inside the closed board, so the whole game becomes one flat, self-contained package about 1.5 inches thick. Open it and the pegs are already in place, ready to play.

Does it use pegs or marbles?

Wooden pegs, on purpose. Pegs seat firmly in the board holes rather than rolling around like marbles, so a bumped table will not scatter the game, and they are easier for most hands to pick up. Buyers consistently tell us they prefer the pegs.

How big is the board?

About 12.2 inches in diameter, cut from thick hardwood, roughly 1.5 inches thick when folded and around a pound and a half in weight. This is our larger, full-size board. If you want something smaller for travel or a purse, see our compact travel Chinese Checkers instead.

Why is it called Chinese Checkers if it is not from China?

It has no connection to China. The game was invented in Germany in 1892 as Stern-Halma, a six-pointed-star reworking of the older game Halma. American game makers renamed it Chinese Checkers in 1928 because an exotic-sounding name sold better at the time, and the name stuck. The six-pointed star is the real innovation: it is what lets up to six players race across the board at once instead of four.

How many people can play, and who is it for?

Anywhere from 2 to 6 players. The rules are simple enough to learn in a couple of minutes, so it works for a family with kids, grandparents at the kitchen table, or friends who want a quick strategic game. It is a common gift for parents and grandparents and a steady choice for family game night.

What is included, and what is it made of?

You get the folding hardwood board, a full set of wooden playing pegs, and a rules sheet. The board is solid hardwood with a metal latch; the pegs are turned wood. We finish each board so the grain shows, which means no two are exactly alike.

Where is it made and how does it ship?

It is made by Creative Crafthouse and ships from our Florida shop. Browse the rest of our handcrafted peg and board games if you are putting together a game shelf.

Can I personalize the Chinese Checkers for 6 Players?

Yes. The Chinese Checkers for 6 Players can be personalized with a custom laser engraving on the board. Add a name, date, or short message when you order. See our laser engraving page for details and examples. For a custom logo or artwork, request a quote for custom work.
