   This was just what I was looking for when I purchased it. I wanted something that my grandchildren did not already own and that would help with their problem solving skills. I also wanted something that we could enjoy playing together as my grandmother and I had done. I like the old fashion look to it. I do have problems with distinguishing the colors of the marbels when they are on the dark board. However, color wise they do look authentic and attractive on the playing board.

   I purchased this game for my grandchildren for Christmas for their home. I have a metal version of this game. I like the fact the the game had an edge around the side so the marbles would not fall off but the main problem is that the marbles are not a bright color and begin to look alike as you play. The bag to connect to the board was also nice. The game would be much more interesting if it were more colorful.

   Hi! I bought a cheap sheet metal version for $[...] at Walmart. Considering the fact that my kids aged 10 & 7 liked this game very much, I went looking for something (i) a little more durable , and (ii) something having the game area, i.e., the star, large enough that moving and placing the marbles is not an issue. After doing a search in other department stores and on the web, I purchased the present unit. The board looks durable and at least 1.5″ thick. Though the overall board measures 19.5″ x 19.2″, the star is a lot smaller, more like 12″ in diameter. As a result picking and placing the marbles is still a problem. There is lot of empty space all around the border. Melissa & Doug may consider increasing the size of the game area, i.e., the star.

   My Husband and I were surprised at how sturdy & heavy this game is. We love the size of the board because my husband has big fingers and was always nocking the marbles out of the holes in cheaper sets we had bought.

   There are some comments about the color of the marbles, but we have not had any trouble telling the marbles apart. Just make sure you have sufficient lighting. We dont mind the fact that it does not come with a storage box, it has a notch cut into the back and we have it hanging on our wall, it has a nice antique or rustic look to it.

   If your looking for a classic game to keep in your family for years, this is it!

   This is a beautiful wooden board, and the intent when purchased was to use it to play the game. The marbles that came with the game were very pretty, and matched the colors on the board, but the colors didn’t stand out. Three of us played, but it was very hard to distinguish the color of the marbles. Except for the white marbles, they all looked too close to the same (light blue, dark blue, green all looked very close in color, and the yellow and red looked close in color to each other). We had to hold the marble to the light to see what color it was.

   The nice thing is that other marbles could be purchased for use and wouldn’t be a big expense. And it is a beautiful game board and you can hang it on the wall.
