Made in China. The size fits; it’s not a downsized travel version, which was crucial. The print is useless and rather distracting, but since the wood isn’t varnished at all, you’ll be painting it anyway, so you can mask the print or tone it down with a glaze. Even though the game box makes it look like at least the playing surface is painted white and smooth, it isn’t. It’s also good to sand the edges of the board, otherwise you could get a splinter. They seem to have overlooked that in China, or just don’t care. Only the pucks are fine; no treatment needed. The rubber bands are included; you have to thread them yourself. Then you’re ready to play. My glaze is still drying, so I can’t test yet, but I think it’ll be great. I discovered this game recently and fell in love with it. So if you want to save money and don’t mind a bit of work at the start, I recommend it. Otherwise you can buy one made in the Czech Republic, surely quality, but for more than double the price.
