Reviews:
-- by Jake Davenport for ContagiousDreams.com
* ``If you really like Backgammon, graduate to Chebache.''
* ``Whenever a game designer combines several ideas from several games, I often find myself wishing I could just go back and play the original game. Now, whenever I play Backgammon, I find myself wishing that I was playing Chebache.''
Chebache - A New Strategy Game--by Kelly Tompkins: Bellaonline's Board Game Editor
* "If you love strategy games such as Checkers, Backgammon and Chess, you're sure to love Chebache. You'll recognize elements from each of these classic games - and much more. The strategies are deep, the movement choices are plenty and the flow of the game is ever-changing."
* "...Backgammon has been my favorite strategy game, but it actually seems a little boring compared to Chebache! (Sorry, Backgammon.) For the strategy board game lover, this is a great, challenging and fun game. It takes elements of the classics to a whole new level."
Chebache: Very Deep Backgammon -- by Mitch Thomashow for TheGamesCafe.com (changed now to TheGamesJournal.com)
* ``It has an elegant, extremely well conceived structure, providing the players with accessible but complex decisions. Most important, it's terrific fun, even exciting to play.''
* ``If you are looking for an exciting game built on familiar principles, that has an addictive quality and will also stretch your strategic faculties, I strongly recommend Chebache. I love this elegant game and I think you will too.''
-- by Lisa Kavanagh for NightsandWeekends.com * "Chebache combines checkers, backgammon, and chess to challenge even the most serious strategists."
* "This is the kind of game you play with a friend for years, constantly challenging each other's intellect. The more you play, the more strategies you can develop, so the game is always challenging."

Many who home school find Chebache offers practice with math skills, and with Life Skills -- Chebache teaches many essential skills which can help children succeed as they grow into adults:
* the importance of taking calculated risks; the importance of seeking balance; the value of thinking before acting; the management of fixed, scarce resources; the development of a logical flow of ideas to implement game plans; the necessity of developing backup plans, in case the best-laid plans go awry; teaches patience and tolerance, since strategic development is rewarded, but the expected outcome may change (due to dice).
