Product Description

Amazon.com

This retro tabletop game, reincarnated from the early 1970s, is making a comeback to a new generation. A sort of table tennis with a twist, Gnip Gnop has a plastic court that is a bit flimsy but requires much less room than a ping-pong table. The rules of play are simple: Each player starts with six balls. Players must smash the three buttons in front of them to launch balls through the three hoops onto the other side of the court. The object of the game is to get all six balls on the opponent’s court. The button smashing is a great way to get out frustrations at the end of a hectic day. Beyond that, there’s little more to the game and, it’s uncertain whether this classic can compete with the video game offerings of the new millennium. It’s possible that this may appeal more to 70s-era parents who are nostalgic for reminders of their youth. --Cristina Vaamonde

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun but not sturdy, November 17, 2006

My boys (ages 4 and 5 1/2 got this for Christmas last year. It really is a lot of fun, but the game constantly falls apart with regular play. It ended up being thrown out this spring as the balls were dented and lost and we couldn't deal with snapping it together anymore. Not worth the cost unfortunately.

I remember this game from my youth, and am delighted that my son and I can play it together without one of us consistently winning (I go a little slower at times to give him a chance, but other times he beats me without "help"). A little noisy and not as sturdy as I recall, but we can play several games without him tiring of it. It's a good value considering the length of our sessions with it.

I bought this for me and my 9 year old daughter to play. I figured I loved it when I was growing up I thought she'd like it too. Well, since it arrived 2 days ago she asks me about every 5 minutes if we can play the game. I still enjoy it too. Great game.
