I loved this toy as a kid - lets just say, they don;t make them like they use to. I have had two different versions of the game and they both have the same problem. WHen you launch your puck, it just stops after it hits one or both of the rubber bands. The puck seems to be the design flaw in the games I have read about or tried. It is a shame, this is a fun game. I probbaly would not buy this, unless the manufacturere designs an improved puck. The game over all is designed nicely and even with the flaw we still have fun playing it. The company delivered quickly and would order from the company again.

Very poor design that shouldn't be available for sale. Clearly something imported that simply isn't worth a dime. Construction is very bad, wood doesn't align. The pucks must have been designed by a two year old, they don't slide properly. You have to be lucky to get the puck to bounce off both rubber bands and make it to the scoring area. [...]

The product is very cheap. It's also advertised as being 48" long, and 18" Wide, and it's not. It's more like 30" Long, and 6" Wide.

I wish I never bought this item, and it will probably end up in the trash, because it's not playable. Amazon should not sell this product, if they care about keeping customers.

We complained about the quality of the slide pieces to the manufacturers who were suprised and happily sent us a new game. The sliders were nearly as poor and woobled down the allies. Nothing like the old game and pieces I remember from childhood.

Assembled from wood, but the construction quality isn't as good as hoped for. In particular, the outside rubber band connections don't go all the way down to the sliding surface and are higher than the inner connections. That makes for some really bad bounces and the pucks often get stuck under the bands at that point. After reading the reviews for the "Rebound" game (that I had as a child), I thought this would be a much better choice. Now I'm not so sure.

This is a nice table top shuffle board game. My son enjoys playing with it but the time he plays with it keeps getting shorter and shorter. It is not a time vampire and will not keeps the kids occupied for much more than 30 to 45 minutes, if you're lucky. But if you like shuffle board, this is a fine toy.
