Hi there, the reason the checkers don't line up perfectly with 11 checkers across the board like they do in the Marc Olsen video is because he has the 2" checkers. Anything smaller and it won't line up precisely.
Someone mentioned he makes smaller size boards which I did not know! Now I am tempted to get a fancier traveling sized one! :) This one is a commitment to bring. Going to have to be responsible and wait till I build up a solid playing partner Rolodex before spending anymore on something I can’t find anyone (and time!) to play with.
@@SingleShotSingleTake only one Casa board with 2” checkers. I’d like a small one as well, great travel board. I own 6 boards, I won one, one was a present and over the years I bought the others-just to learn about what I liked to play on the most. I play on my Taki board 80% of the time. I like wood frame boards with cloth field. FM are also nice boards. Casa in the 1.75” checker-the compact board is great. Someday. Carol has them most of the time. Best Eric 😃😃
@@EricPetersen2922 I appreciate the internet where we can connect on something so specific like boards for a simple, ancient board game. Still looking for reliable, playing partners with flexible schedules in San Gabriel Valley (Greater LA Area)
I only played a couple of "real" games on it but man oh man is it a pleasure to even loose on it! Pure joy! Thanks for sharing the craftsman's name. Do you think I should make a video comparing it to my entry level board? I think that would be fun.
@@SingleShotSingleTake Nice, I work on movies, encourage your son it's a great professional path, I feel extremely lucky. Will subscribe! I live in Brazil and just bought Paulo's 45mm checkers board for my wife as her Christmas gift, can't wait. You should check out his other size boards he has 4 different sizes from super small to your king size. Keep up with the BJJ osssss
@@TheDvenosa Thank you for such kind comment. I am doing my best to encourage his dreams but it is always helpful when others encourage me to encourage him. I am trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese so Master Machado does not shake his head every time I try to utter a word in it. I always thought it was a really cool language. Let me know if you want to learn some English and I can practice some Portuguese!
Enjoy your new board. Carol is the best.
Thanks Nicolas! It was really worth the wait!
I’m watching your unpackaging and I’m wondering if I could get a contact number or address for Carol?
I have her website link in the description. Here it is for reference: flintbg.org/boutique.html
Beautiful board! I love the color of the points. 😀
I am really happy with it too!!

I think because this is a custom board.
This looks like that ride in disney world that shows the future with the kid doing VR in the background lol
Haha.
I Love that carrying case. Very nice board.
Thanks for your comment!
How much did the board cost ?
It was pricey but relatively inexpensive as compared to other, even pricier, sets.
That's unreal enjoy
Thank you. Just been looking for playing partners.

They are great boards, I love playing on them. Congrats
You have more than one ?! I will probably get a smaller one for 50th though not sure who will be top of mind or choice in 9.5 years :)
