Chinese Checkers on one side and Irk (Aggravation) on the other. 2 family games in one beautiful board.
The idea of Chinese Checkers is to manipulate your marbles across the board to occupy the star point directly opposite.
Irk is known by more names than any other game board. Names such as: Aggravation, Wahoo, Parcheesi, Sorry, Oh No, Murder, The Marble Game and others. The game that everybody's Uncle invented because he was the one that gifted a homemade version to the family.
This popular game of chance is a family favorite. It is played on a 16” board with dice and ¾” marbles. (18mm) With the roll of a die, each player moves their marbles around the board and back to home. If an opponent lands on your marble by exact count, your marble is “IRK”-ed and must return to base to start again.
Irk and Chinese Checkers together. Who doesn’t want 2 for 1? Two heritage games, one beautiful board. Marble bag included with this board.

The Process:
We have a beautiful product and of the highest quality. All work is original and handmade and makes a stunning decoration on any coffee table. Woods are hand selected, cut into various widths, hand glued together and set in a custom welded clamp. We use strips of wood because it stabilizes the boards and prevents warping but also allows creative freedom and artistic play. All stripes and levels of contrast are different in each board. When dry, each board is planed and sanded then the game pattern is applied through CNC. No stains, paints or dyes of any kind are used. The woods are all their natural colors so the beauty of the species is on display. A clear furniture grade varnish is used to protect the wood. This ensures beauty and a lifetime of enjoyment. We use classic, old fashioned designer marbles or beautiful, unique hand-molded ceramic marbles for playing pieces, shrink wrap each game board and include playing instructions for all our games. Our purpose is to bring back the nostalgia of good family entertainment. Besides being fun to play, the games require concentration and actual thinking in making your moves. The goal of all the work is to create art that can be seen, touched and enjoyed in everyday life. These timeless, heritage game boards are each designed and handcrafted by Dirk.
Please note, all our items are handcrafted with natural woods which add variety and beauty. Every board we make is created by hand which makes it unique. We do not mass produce which means there are no two boards alike and you will not receive the board pictured. If you need something specific, please contact us in advance. We will work hard to get close to what you request. We cannot guarantee because of the natural variety of woods and we use no stains, paints or dye.
