I got this game cheap, but that doesn't exempt it from cheap gameplay. Characters and animations are great, but too easy

Since I got this game for only $2 two years ago, I have totally enjoyed this laid back, slightly RPG-ish (ever so slightly) game. So, the game includes checkers, chess, and backgammon. The reason why I said it's slightly RPG-ish is because the characters you are/face are very Japanese-inspired beings. I mean, you face an elf, shark man, a weird alien robot guy, and some red shirted nerd... etc. The elf, Tellem, is awesome! Whenever I unlock her as a playable character, I always choose her as me... I hope that doesn't sound creepy... erm.... Anyhoo, the difficulty level is extremely easy though, but the animations for the chess is cool. When a piece kills another, a cutscene shows it. (Yes! The Barbarian queen knocks over the ugly rook thingy! As an example).
Pros:
Cutscenes, characters, and animations are excellent.
Standard board game gameplay.
One BGM is really spectacular.
Cons:
Password unlockables?
Ugly rooks.
All other BGM is bad.
One female character!
Way too easy.
Backgammon? What's that?
I really like this game...>.<
