Remember the good old days, relaxing on a lazy weekend afternoon playing a game of checkers with your family? It has become a popular American tradition. Draughts, as it is known in Great Britain, has ancient roots. It is believed, the earliest form of checkers was discovered in an archeological dig at Ur in Iraq. This set is our most popular one with its beautifully made wood board and red and black wood pieces. It's the perfect game to play with your kids to start your own family traditions!
