One Blank Game Board (1 Game Board 17" x 17") Create Your Own Board Game, DIY Board Game, Family Board Games

We bought this for a school project and I was very happy with the quality. My kid used sharpie, crayola markers and paint and not once did the surface get too wet or bubble or smear. (The paint was inexpensive acrylic paints from a craft store.)Then some items were printed out on glossy photo paper and glued to the board with 3m Permanent glue sticks.The only caution i'd put out there is to take into consideration the medium you are using in regards to folding the board. My kiddo glued on photo paper and when the board was folding it started going awry, so while the glue was still moist the papers were removed, cut down the middle where the board folds and scooched over a few mm accordingly. Sure, it left the tiniest gap but then the board folded with no problem to the thick photo paper. The paint and such had no issues. (And we concluded it wasn't the board's fault, it's the nature of trying to fold the thick glossy paper on a board surface.)The game looked fantastic!

The board is very sturdy and has only one fold. It is easy to draw on using a pencil. It was purchased for a math project that my child completed. We used pencil to outline the drawing on the game board. Mistakes were easy to erase. Once he was satisfied with the initial drawing, he traced/colored with permanent color markers. Crayons didn't do so well with the gloss. He also used color pencils in sections and they worked fine but didn't look as vibrant as the permanent color markers.

As advertised

Board was very sturdy, and definitely fit the bill for a 4th grader's research "product" quiz game. Minus star for an overly glossy writing surface - even pencil was smudging! - and for the back of the board showing scuff marks almost immediately. Minor cosmetic issues, but when you're using it to create a graded & judged project, neatness counts!

My son used this game board for a school project. He used colored pencils successfully on the glossy surface (darker colors worked much better than lighter ones). I would definitely recommend this game board for similar projects. The board itself is good, thick cardboard and should hold up very well. My one issue with it is that the glossy surface does make it a bit hard to color on.

Made an educational board game about Polinators

Fantastic product and great price. I may order this again!!! THANK YOU - Fast delivery - packaged great - very satisfied

These are nice looking and extremely convenient since my son is always coming up with games & there's not really a good way to make your own. But...they are so glossy almost nothing stays. We found that pencil (and not even good colored pencils, like Prismacolor) and thin sharpie-type markers will stay. But those will even come off if you rub hard enough. And you have to let it dry for a while before touching it or folding up the board.Thankfully he's not dead-set on his design plans & could work with it, but if he wanted it colored it would be nearly impossible.They are better than nothing, but I wish they were easier to use.
