My son, learning of Bingo at his grandmother's senior housing apartment complex, loves it. He had always wanted to be the one calling out the numbers and he now is.

The wheel works great and nicely dispences one numberered sphere at a time;

Some of the sphere markings make it difficult to actually read the letter and number. Fortunately, one can easily deduce whatever is missing;

Large wooden block with concave spots for the spheres is nice.

Just as the Signature Edition has the traditional, "old," look to it, some of the numbers on the cards are off-set and difficult to read.

Also, I was surprised that a new set like this had windows that were difficult to slide open and closed.

I was very happy with the Bingo game I purchased for my Grandsons 7th Birthday.. It proved to be a fun gift for the whole family. Jacob has a four year old little brother who was able to play. My Daughter loved the Bingo cards, no little plastic chips to pick up. As a Grandparent, this is a memorable family game worth buying, that will never go out of style. This product is durable and kid friendly-Parents will Love it! My grandson is going to bring it on all the family RV trips. Loved It!

This bingo game is the best I have found. I had ordered another bingo game that was much cheaper (about $20) because I did not want to spend the price of this. However, I ended up spending that plus the cost of this Bingo game. After about a year I finally broke down and bought this one- and boy am I glad I did. Yes, the color of the balls where the letter and number it etched is a little vague on some balls but that is part of the charm of this game (vintage looking). The letters and numbers can definitely be made out and if you do not like it you can use a brown sharpie to fill them in with no problem. My five year old was able to call out the bingo balls so I would say anyone can. I love the wooden board that came with it to place the balls as you call them off. The spinning cage works well as long as you do not spin it too fast. like other customers stated, the bingo cards are a bit tough to slide but I think after working them through play they will loosen up. The only thing I wish it would have come with is a wooden box to carry it in...but other than that I really am glad I purchased this game as the title states, "it is the best out there" that I have found and I spent a year looking.
