Chinese Checkers

€12.90
Tax included

Chinese checkers probably do not come from the Far East, despite their name. On the other hand, Chinese checkers are a variant of the game Halma, a game created in England at the end of the 19th century by the American George Howard Monks, who invented a game called Halma, a name derived from the ancient Greek meaning "jump" but also an ancient pentathlon event.

This first version of the game is played on the grids of a 16x16 square board. The version we know today was adapted under the name Stern-Halma (Halma: star) and patented in 1892 by the German company Ravensburger. This version of the game is played on a star-shaped game board. However, it can be seen that there is a rather similar version on a star-shaped board in Asia...

When the game was first marketed in the United States by the company J.Pressman & Co. under the name "Hop Ching", the expression "Chinese Checkers" was used for the first time. However, this game in its initial square form is still called "Halma" in many countries... Gift idea for playing with the family, a very nice wooden board game gift. Original gift idea for a birthday, or for the end of the year celebrations.   

Quantity

The aim of this game of strategy, also called Chinese star, is to take first place to the other side of the board.

There is no place for chance in this kind of game and you need to have a faultless tactic to be the winner.

This game will give you good times with friends and develop your imagination.

Star Chinese chequers is an entertaining and educational game where your own figures have to jump over as many of the opposing figures as possible and to interfere them doing their jumps.

Board and figures are made of solid wood.

Emergency Doctor's Kit

This children's first aid kit contains standard medical equipment and is realistic and virtually identical to what is found in many first aid services, doctors' surgeries and doctors' offices.

Becoming a doctor is often one of the jobs that children dream of doing when they grow up.

In France, the dream jobs for boys are, in order of preference: aeroplane or helicopter pilot, engineer, scientist and in fourth place: "Doctor, nurse or emergency doctor.

The jobs that girls dream of are first: teacher and then doctor, nurse or emergency doctor. The tastes of young Belgians must certainly be similar to those of French children. The profession of doctor is still a dream for young girls and boys. In Belgium and France, the studies to become a doctor of medicine last from 9 to 12 years (for the specialisations).

Of course this doctor's case is only a toy for children, but this medical case is an opportunity to imagine oneself practising a beautiful profession and will perhaps give the desire to become a doctor. This first aid case is a birthday gift idea, a birthday gift for a child, girl or boy, an original gift for the holidays, in short an original gift idea for children.

Giant Wooden Dice Set

Dice are used in many games. The best known are played with 2 dice like Craps, with 3 dice like 421 or with 5 dice like Yahtzee or Yams. Reiner Knizia, a world-renowned German game designer, reports that he has found 150 different dice games, which he explains in his book Dice Games Properly. Dice were found in the Indus civilisation in 2400 BC. Dice identical to those we know today have been found, with 6 sides and 6 small holes. Generally cubic with 6 sides usually numbered from 1 to 6 and therefore the values of the opposite sides is equal to 7.

Dice have also been used as objects of divination. The Greeks claimed to be the originators of dice. According to Sophocles, the dice were invented by Palamedes, a Greek hero in Troy during the siege. Archaeologists have found dice in Troy. Ancient Greek vases also show Trojan war heroes playing dice.
