The Wooden Frame: Features light surface scuffs and clear minor scratch marks on the wood finish on one of the outer octagonal panels. The Alabaster Surface: There are a few small, minor nicks/fleabites along the edges of a couple of the stone squares (one near the inner edge border, and one tiny ding on a white playing square).
