Star Checkers: Handcrafted by At-Risk Artisans – A Screen-Free Game of Hope
Bring your family together with a screen-free game night experience while supporting at-risk artisans. This beautifully handcrafted Star Checkers set, also known as Sternhalma or Chinese Checkers, is created by skilled artisans working with Asha Handicrafts, an Indian fair-trade organization dedicated to empowering at-risk communities. In this classic game, the goal is to move all your marbles across the board to the opposite point of the star, hopping over your opponents along the way—fun for players of all ages.
Asha Handicrafts, whose name means "hope" in Sanskrit, has been promoting the social and economic development of marginalized artisans across India for over 40 years. Each game board is a testament to their craftsmanship, blending tradition with purpose. By choosing this set, you’re not just bringing home a game—you’re supporting artisans whose livelihoods and futures depend on fair trade opportunities.
