We really like this game and it seems to be addictive. Very hard to put down once you get started. The only negative I have with it is that this particular brand/model doesn't have a lid, so we have to put the dice elsewhere when storing it or taking it with us to someone's house. However, that is truly the only bad thing about this nice little game, and certainly not anything that would change its five-star rating.

This little game sits on our dining room table and my 9yo daughter and I play it daily. A game takes about 3 minutes. Its instructions call for using addition on the numbers rolled on the dice. However, we found that by adding the choice of either addition or subtraction to each roll of the dice, you have more flexibility and better scores. Plus, I can visibly see my daughter's ability with subtraction improving. This is a family favorite!

The 10 paddle shut the box is compact and easy to store, however the 12 paddle unit is much better and more fun to play. ... Dan

I guess I'm partly to blame for not reading the fine print, but I was very dissappointed when I received this item. The game is very small (physically). Can't hardly even set it on your lap. The dice are also very small. Another thing I'm dissappointed about is that it did not come in a box. So, the dice are very easy to lose. In fact, we've lost one die already. I've played the game before on a bigger box and it just seemed more enjoyable.

The only thing I really did not like was the size of the game. I expected it to be alot bigger compared to others.

Purchased for my 6 year old son. He loves math and this was a great game choice for him. It is very eduacational and teaches quick math skills! He used it almost every day. My husband and I use it almost every day also. It is nice looking as well and has a permanent home on our endtable. When people come over they grab it and play it. We love that it can be played by one person as well as many. It is a super quick game lasting about one minute or it can be played as a longer game between two or more people where points are established. Very versatile game. We have had this now for over a year and it looks as though it will last for many more years to come! Cannot say enough about it!

great for any family gathering that includes kids...makes you look like you are the most fun adult ever! Then the adults get hooked...

Its great game for adults Bar game, but it is also great for kids who are learning the make up of Numbers

This is a fun game for the whole family. My kids have fun, and we can take it on car rides.

My 15 year old grandson played this at a friends' house and loved it. We now have one for our house and one for the grandsons!
