boltongeordie64Yes Happy childhood memories of this one but as an adult: the setup takes an age, the marbles are prone to drop between turns (as you rotate the structure) and younger kids are at a major disadvantage to older brothers and sisters.
flowerkin6  I remember the game when I was young and it wasn't nearly as cheaply made back then. The sticks are barely thick enough to do anything. My 3 year old loved the game, but It didn't last long as the marbles slipped through the poorly made plastic sticks. I wouldn't rate it this high if it was for me, but the kids still like it and I will play if they want to. My 5 year old has yet to get into the game.
guantanamo65No  
Larry Welborn6  Takes way too long to set the game up and my children 5 & 3 can not set it up by themselves.
m_hamburg6  This was a favorite of mine as a kid, but I have to agree with the other posters- once the novelty wears off, I am not sure of the staying power. I never owned my own copy- my grandma had one, so I only got to play it at her house. I played this with my three-year-old recently, she liked it, but I am not sure that she liked it enough for us to buy it. Maybe I should convince my mom to buy one for her house!
shumyum6  Man, I loved this game when I was a kid, but there are certainly better ones out there these days.
mcross54Some Lots of time to put it together, followed by a few minutes of fun.
The Unbeliever55Yes A fun toy.
Admiral Fisher4  My kids will play this quite happily, but they preferred it more when they were younger and, to be quite honest, they much prefer other more involved games now.
Ed the Red4  Quite fun, but not much in it. Seeing a whole load of marbles disappearing is probably the best bit. One of those games where it is sometimes best if daddy/mummy 'accidentally' cops for most of them!
Jatoha4  "You.ll put your eye out with those sticks!" This game doesn.t work for me, it seems best for very young kids, but then they jiggle the tower too much and everything comes falling down, I say, there are better dexterity games than this one.
gwen3  The kids got this when they were 5&6 yo. After a couple of playings they already got bored with it. Setting up the game (adding all the pins) is taking as much time as playing the game itself.
